Join the Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) staff on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, from 7 to 9 p.m. for a presentation on Little Fire Ants at Volcano Art Center Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.

The Big Island Invasive Species Committee will provide information on how to control this pest, how the biology and behavior of ants affect treatment, which products are most effective and how to use them for best results, and how to create a plan for the best long-term control and prevention.

Attendees will also find out how to get a free demonstration day with pesticide application for their neighborhood.
