Ants
![]()
Ants can be a nuisance when attempts are made to establish plants through direct seeding. Workers will forage for the newly planted seeds, removing them to their nests and causing reduced germination. Some ants build nests in walls and foundations, or indoors in potted plants, enclosed areas, and even in cavities in toilets and sinks. In almost all cases nests are limited to pre-existing cavities or spaces between objects or in rotten wood and seldom will ants attack solid structures. Thus they generally will not cause structural damage to buildings but will take advantage of existing deterioration.

What do they look like?
This species could easily be confused with the common coastal brown ant and as well as some local native ants, but can be distinguished by its aggressive behaviour. http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/fireants/ Control Back | Top | Control Option |
