Aloha and welcome to the Hawaii Ant Lab invasive ant website.  Here we try to provide you with practical advice and assistance with managing invasive ants as well as current and past research on invasive ant issues.

These pages will be changing constantly as we add, edit and delete information. Hopefully it will become a repository of all things related to invasive ants in the Pacific region. We really appreciate comments, suggestions and questions so please contact us at info@littlefireants.com if you have any questions or things you would like to see added.

The best place to start is the FAQ section.  You will find answers to many of the questions you might have.

THE RECIPE IS HERE!!!

 

At long last, and after years of research, testing, frustration, setbacks and regulatory scrutiny, we are able to publish our HAL gel bait recipe and furthermore, have a newly registered product to go with it.

 

Tango® is a Wellmark product containing S-methoprene which is one of the safest active ingredients anywhere.  In combination with the HAL gel bait, Tango® can be used virtually anywhere—in nurseries, food crops, inside and around homes, turf and ornamental situations.

 

Click on the Tango label to the left or visit the “new baits” page for more information.
