Last week, the state Department of Agriculture confirmed that at least eight homes on Auina Street in Mililani Mauka were infested with fire ants. Members of the community are now arranging to meet with representatives from the state Department of Agriculture, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, the state Department of Health and the Invasive Special Council to find out what can be done to prevent and treat the problem. State Senator Donovan Dela Cruz stated, "We also want to give the community an opportunity to ask questions and share concerns. With this being residential areas, it's a serious discovery, and surely triggers a lot of fear and questions in people. The meeting is intended to bring awareness and set a community effort in motion to help the state combat little fire ants."
