Early Detection Reports
Early detection strategies, like road-side and nursery surveys, enable us to identify threats before they become widespread and out of control.
- 2011 KISC island-wide invertebrate survey.pdf – This report is the result of the most recent invertebrate survey on Kauai, funded by US Fish and Wildlife Service. The survey team specifically surveyed for nettle caterpillar, naio thrips, and little red fire ant. Addenda have been removed from this online report to protect the privacy of those property owners who cooperated with KISC during this survey.
- 2006 Kauai fire ant survey report.pdf – This report presents the results of an island-wide survey of Kauai for this biting pest. The little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata) was accidentally introduced to Kauai in 1999. The methodology and success of ongoing eradication and containment efforts against the little fire ant are reviewed.
