Fire ants
Fire ants are one of the worst invasive species to reach Australia’s shores. They can ruin our lifestyle and significantly impact our environment and many industries including agriculture. Fire ants inflict painful stings and could restrict everyday activities such as barbeques, picnics and sporting events.
With your help we have the best chance of ridding Queensland of fire ants. Check your yard and report back to us using our online reporting form or by calling us on 13 25 23.
