Fire ants
Fire ants are one of the worst invasive species to reach Australia’s shores. They can ruin our lifestyle and significantly impact our environment and many industries including agriculture. Fire ants inflict painful stings and could restrict everyday activities such as barbeques, picnics and sporting events.
