Watch for fire ants and report

NSW Department of Primary Industries

Found a suspicious ant? Wondering if you should contact us? Absolutely!

We thank the community for their ongoing vigilance on fire ants. Since November, we’ve had more than 750 reports of suspicious ants. Let’s keep working together to keep this pest out of NSW. We encourage anyone who suspects the presence of fire ants to contact NSW DPI on 1800 680 244 or via the online form on the link below.

Fire ants do resemble other species, and it is important that our experts make an ID. If you find suspect ants, please do not attempt to destroy them. Safely photograph them and send images to us for assessment.

If you suspect fire ants, please contact DPI. If you are not sure, contact us anyway.
