Fire ants are a dangerous, invasive pest. We all have a role to play in managing this biosecurity risk. Find out what you can do.
What you can do
To prevent fire ants from spreading to new areas, we recommend that everyone:
- regularly inspect their property for fire ants and nests
- immediately report suspected sightings of fire ants and nests
- follow our guidelines when handling materials that can carry fire ants
- participate in treatment activities.
Doing these things will help you meet your biosecurity obligations.
To learn which obligations apply to you and how to meet them, read the general biosecurity obligation.
