✍️ Fire ant infestations along Queensland's Logan river are raising concerns about the spread of the invasive species, which can form floating rafts and spread downstream.
👉 Fire ant infestations along Queensland's Logan river are growing in density and becoming a problem. 👉 The ants can form floating rafts and spread downstream during flood events. 👉 The Invasive Species Council is urging governments to increase eradication efforts along the Logan river. 👉 The NSW government has already taken measures to prevent the spread of the pests, including a temporary suspension on turf movements from heavily infested areas.
