Invasive ants remain one of the most significant environmental threats facing our community.
For more than ten years, local volunteers and specialist treatment teams have worked hard to reduce their spread. Significant progress has been made, but new infestations are still being discovered. 

Most new infestations occur when ants are accidentally moved by people, in soil, machinery, mulch, equipment and plants.
