Where have fire ants been found in Queensland?
Two main infestations of fire ant nests have been found, one in the south western suburbs of Brisbane/eastern suburbs of Ipswich, and one in an area around the mouth of the Brisbane River. A number of small outlying infestations were also found around the greater Brisbane area including Logan and Redlands. Most outlying infestations have been traced to the movement of materials containing fire ants from other infested sites. View map of the infested areas.
