They were accidentally introduced and are now established in Southeast Queensland. Fire ants have devastated ecosystems, agricultural land, and human activity in every region they have colonised worldwide. They pose a direct threat to wildlife, livestock, crops, and human health through their painful and potentially life-threatening stings. Their eradication from Australia is the focus of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program. All Queensland landowners have a legal obligation to report suspected sightings.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I identify fire ants in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Fire ants are red-brown to copper-coloured, 2-6mm, and have a darker abdomen. They are extremely aggressive when disturbed and swarm rapidly onto anything that disturbs the mound. The mound itself is the most reliable identifier: a roughly dome-shaped mound of loose, worked soil with no visible entry hole on the surface (fire ants enter from underground). Mounds in turf areas are typically 20-40cm wide and 10-20cm high. If ants swarm aggressively when you approach a soil mound, do not disturb further and call 13 25 23 or 0406 178 471.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I treat fire ants myself?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Attempting DIY treatment of fire ants is strongly discouraged and may be a biosecurity offence. Disturbing fire ant mounds causes the colony to relocate. Pouring water or chemicals into a mound without correct treatment disperses ants and spreads the infestation rather than eliminating it. Fire ant treatment in Queensland must be conducted under the National Fire Ant Eradication Program protocols to be effective and compliant.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What do I do if fire ants sting me?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Move away from the nest immediately. Fire ant stings produce an initial burning sensation followed by white fluid-filled pustules at the sting sites within 24 hours. Do not scratch the pustules as this risks infection. Clean the sting sites with soap and water, apply a cold pack, and take an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience breathing difficulty, throat swelling, dizziness, or rapid pulse as these are signs of anaphylaxis. Call 000 for anaphylaxis.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does fire ant inspection and treatment cost in Brisbane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Fire ant identification and inspection costs from $180. This confirms whether the ant species is Solenopsis invicta and documents the mound locations. Authorised treatment under the National Fire Ant Eradication Program is coordinated with Biosecurity Queensland. In many cases, treatment within the eradication zone is covered or subsidised under the program. Call 0406 178 471 for current program coverage details for your address.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which Brisbane suburbs are in the fire ant eradication zone?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The National Fire Ant Eradication Program covers a large zone across Southeast Queensland including most of the Brisbane metro area, Logan, Ipswich, Scenic Rim, Gold Coast, Redland City, and Moreton Bay. The zone boundary is updated regularly as eradication progresses.

They were introduced and have colonised Southeast Queensland. They are highly destructive to native wildlife, agricultural production, and human activity wherever they establish. Australia is one of the last countries with a realistic chance of total eradication. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program, funded by both state and federal governments, depends on reporting from every landowner who finds a nest.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\"><span class=\"faq-qt\">How do I identify fire ants in Brisbane?<\/span><div class=\"faq-tog\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-ans\">Key identification points: red-brown body with a darker abdomen, 2-6mm in size with multiple sizes in the same colony, extremely aggressive when the mound is approached with mass swarming within seconds, dome-shaped mound of loose soil with no visible surface entry hole, and white fluid-filled pustules forming at sting sites 8-24 hours after being stung.
