Fire Ant Petition

Please and share the National Fire Ant Eradication Program (NFAEP) petition requesting an urgent reassessment of the State Government’s strategy and to:

• Immediately pause the NFAEP.
• Commission a comprehensive Environmental Risk Assessment on the effects of broad scale long-term use of fire ant baits on human and environmental health.
• Shift from an ‘Eradication Program’ to a ‘Suppression Program’, focusing on restricting hazardous material movement to contain fire ant spread.
• In implementing the Biosecurity Act 2014, allow authorised officers to treat private properties only where a biosecurity threat is evidenced on the property whilst accommodating owners’ concerns.
