A global super pest that has settled into southeast Queensland has been accidentally imported into NSW, marking its first known incursion in almost a year. Officials are now inquiring whether turf was falsely signed off as being treated for fire ants before crossing the border on Wednesday.
The devastating cost of fire ants revealed. The ants were found shortly after the turf was laid at a private property west of Byron Bay, the NSW government confirmed on Thursday. Red imported fire ants are considered by biosecurity experts as one of the worst invasive species to reach Australia, potentially causing more economic damage than cane toads, rabbits and feral cats combined. Their painful bites also pose a major threat to the future of park barbecues and picnics.
