Yet it is difficult to pick the fruit in random areas because of the rampant imported fire ant problem. Please explain like you are a corporate whore who doesn't know when to stop destroying the ecosystem. Both of these things are massive issues and yet mosquitoes and also little fire ants have not yet been wiped out. Mosquitoes you can wax poetic about evolutionary biology and whatever else but the fire ants attack electrical systems so it is actually a financial bonus for places like home depot because you have to keep replacing electrical equipment unless you treat the ants with birth control that is also a bonus for business because it is a new lucrative business because the pests are intolerable. Find the fucking corporation that imported the ants and make them pay for complete eradication already. And Hawaii doesn't yet have malaria but if it were a risk I am sure more business would be developed to spray poison from planes like they do in Florida.

Why would underfunded fresh out of college agriculture inspectors be blamed for this when it would make logical sense to just limit the corporate whores? I mean, this isn't, like, rocket science. How are those corporate whores doing? Are they regulated yet?
I mean, like, don't the hawaiians categorize their food supply by which canoe group brought it in (dur). When do the canoes stop?
And/or can everything being imported be fumigated for every known ecosystem destroying pest, and also can we have a special institutional review board that governs corporate whores versus long term ecological protection? Haaay New Zealand
Let us not forget the importation of rat lungworm (rats were here but the mollusk was not)
