Fire Ants

The National Fire Ant Eradication Program has achieved some remarkable successes to date. From 65 000 plus fire ant nests in 2002, just over 100 nests have been confirmed in the financial year to date.

However, the QDPI&F is concerned that there are still some more of the vicious pests to be found – small, isolated nests that if left untreated could spread to major proportions again.

To report suspect ants in Queensland, please call the DPI&F on 13 25 23. An officer may respond in person or you may be asked to send in a pest sample.
