LFA are tiny ants, measuring approximately 1/16 of an inch in length; are a
uniform pale orange in color; and generally move very slowly and are easily
dislodged when disturbed. LFA sting readily when they get under clothing. The
stings are painful, resulting in welts and itching that can persist for weeks. LFA
stings to animals result in skin issues and when stung in or near their eyes,
permanent cloudiness of the eyes can occur.
Native to South America, LFA was first discovered on Hawai¡®i Island
approximately 25 years ago. LFA populations have since been detected
throughout most of the state, with ongoing control projects involving joint efforts
between the Hawai¡®i Ant Lab, and the Hawai¡®i Invasive Species Council, including
the Invasive Species Committees in all counties in the state and HDOA.
Suspected LFA infestations on O¡®ahu, Kaua¡®i and Maui may be reported to the
state¡¯s Pest Hotline at 808-643-7378.
