The red imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis Invicta) poses a major threat due to its aggressive nature and potent sting. These ants are known for their swarming behaviour and attacking in large numbers when their nests are disturbed. Their venom contains alkaloids, which can cause intense pain, swelling, and even severe allergic reactions in humans and animals.
As prolific breeders, Fire Ants can establish new colonies rapidly if introduced to unaffected areas. Fire Ants will infest various habitats, including urban back yards, agricultural, and natural ecosystems, makes them a danger to the public and a biosecurity threat.
One of the primary reasons for the spread of Fire Ant infestations is the transportation of soil by individuals across biosecurity zones and state borders.
Humans can spread it via:
- Materials such as soil, hay, mulch, manure, quarry products, turf and potted plants
- Containers that have been used with organic materials, such as potted plants
- Machinery that has been used to move infested material and change sites

It is the proven solution in the battle against Red Imported Fire Ants, the benefits of this innovative solution will not fail to deliver across all sectors of society where infestations could impact on our daily lives.
