The Fire Ant

The Fire Ant continues to spread across Huahine and is a threat to our local ecosystems. This invasive species can harm our wildlife, soil, and natural habitats. To preserve the delicate balance of our island, it is essential to know how to identify this ant and act responsibly.

How to Recognize the Fire Ant ?

The PFF is a small, red ant known for its aggressive behavior. If you’ve ever encountered these ants, you know that their bites can be painful. They are commonly found in coastal areas, forests, and tropical gardens. If you see a large number of red ants or notice them in places where they’re not typically found, it’s likely to be the PFF.


For more details, you can download our informative flyer on identifying the PFF below.
