Fire Ant Control

Fire ants are an ‘aggressive pest’– hostile, highly-adaptive as well as fully equipped for survival. They are considered category 1 restricted matter under the Biosecurity Act 2014.

The National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program has successfully eradicated 5 attacks of the bug and is working on a sixth.

The 10-year eradication strategy is presently concentrating on the western side of the infestation in the Lockyer Valley. The program will progressively work through Ipswich, Logan, the Gold Coast as well as Redlands over the coming years.

Just 2 years into the strategy, locals partly of the Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and also the Ipswich local government area are informing us the strategy is functioning.

The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries are raising awareness that biosecurity dangers are an issue for the whole community, from specific property owners and businesses to public landowners such as councils.
