How can you help?

Community awareness, support and vigilance are critical for detecting new infestations and stopping the spread of invasive ants.

Please report any suspect ants in the Cairns region to the Wet Tropics Management Authority at yca@wtma.qld.gov.au or call 07 4241 0525.

You can also report suspect ants using AntZone.
