Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility, and we must all play a role to ensure we minimise biosecurity risks to protect Queensland’s lifestyle, industries and environment from pests and diseases.

The National Fire Ant Eradication Program supports this effort by finding, containing, and destroying fire ants across South East Queensland.
