instructive and frightening american video as the most successful creature that has ever lived they are omnivorous they are ferocious they have an unrivalled capacity for concerted action to promote their species and they are here according to the invasive species council fire ants are one of the world s worst super pests if allowed to spread a 2016 study found the impact of fire ants would be greater than rabbits cane toads foxes camels wild dogs and feral cats combined when rifa was discovered in 2001 in the port of brisbane and in the western suburban fringe near ipswich we chose

funded by all states territories and the commonwealth is in jeopardy because only queensland and new south wales have met their funding commitments as a result the containment and eradication work agreed under the plan has been cut by more than 50 on this basis the plan fails and the fire ant wins urgent action is required to reinstate the full program or the consequences will be dire to sport
