Australia is home to many ant species, but only one is notably invasive: the Solenopsis invicta, commonly known as the fire ant. First detected in Brisbane in February 2001, these ants are believed to have arrived via shipping containers from the United States. Australia’s ideal climate, landscape, and lack of natural predators make it a perfect home for these pests. Although currently concentrated in Southeast Queensland, without ongoing efforts to curb their spread, they could extend well beyond Canberra.
