Fire ants, particularly the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta), pose a significant threat to Australia’s environment, economy, and public health. Originating from South America, these invasive pests were first detected in Brisbane in 2001 and have since spread across South East Queensland, with recent detections near the New South Wales border.
The Threat of Fire Ants
Fire ants are aggressive and can inflict painful stings, leading to severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Their presence disrupts outdoor activities, damages crops, and threatens native wildlife. If left unchecked, fire ants could cost Australia over $2 billion annually in damages.
National Eradication Efforts
In response to this growing threat, the National Fire Ant Eradication Program (NFAEP) has been established, aiming to eliminate fire ants from Australia by 2032. This program involves intensive treatment across South East Queensland, including areas like Moreton Bay, Somerset, Lockyer Valley, and the Gold Coast.
