Thanks for the input, and maybe the US can learn from the success you seem to be having in Australia. Obviously, you are very well versed on fire ants.

The Program has (on current evidence) killed off two of the three established and distinct RIFA infestations to have been discovered in Queensland since 2000, and is pursuing the remaining queens from the remaining infestation in South East Queensland (in areas mostly south and west of Brisbane). The tools and systems being deployed have been established to work across wide (but not unlimited) acreage in both urban and rural areas, and potential collateral damage to the environment or other arthoropods has been minimised - particularly by comparison with the effects on ecosystems witnessed in long-term RIFA-infested areas of the US.
