The little fire ant (LFA) is a new, invasive, stinging ant that will spread across the Hawaiian Islands if we don’t take action now. LFAs infest yards, houses, farms, and forests. Their powerful stings harm people and wildlife. LFAs sting the eyes of pets, leading to blindness. LFAs damage crops, food production, and the economy everywhere.

Our library is partnering with the Kauai Invasive Species Committee (KISC) to provide FREE test kits to the community, while supplies last. Residents may obtain a test kit during the library’s business hours. Completed test kits may also be returned to this library location.
