What makes fire ants a serious risk
Fire ants are not just a nuisance. They pose real risks to people, pets and outdoor environments.
Key concerns include:
Painful stings that cause burning sensations and pustules
Multiple stings from a single disturbance
Allergic reactions in some individuals
Risks to pets, livestock and wildlife
Damage to lawns and outdoor areas
Potential impact on electrical infrastructure
Rapid spread between neighbouring properties
Fire ants will aggressively defend their nest and can swarm within seconds when disturbed.
What do fire ants look like
Fire ants are often mistaken for other common ant species, making correct identification important.
Reddish-brown colouring
Variation in size within the same colony (2-6mm)
Aggressive behaviour when disturbed
Visible soil mounds in open areas
Fast swarming response
Where do fire ants mostly nest
Parks, sports fields and open public spaces, particularly in sun-exposed areas with loose soil.
Lawns and turf areas, especially where the ground is regularly disturbed
Garden beds, particularly in loose or freshly turned soil
Around fence lines and retaining walls
Near outdoor electrical boxes, irrigation systems and utility areas
New developments or recently landscaped areas

Fire ants vs other ants
Fire ants are difficult to control due to their colony structure and behaviour.
Colonies can contain hundreds of thousands of ants
Multiple queens may exist within one colony
Colonies can split and spread to new areas
Nests may relocate when disturbed
Ants forage aggressively for food
Surface spraying alone is rarely effective and may worsen the problem.
