Fire Ant Control in Australia: Natural Mineral Solutions for Sustainable Pest Management using diatomaceous earth
Australia’s invasive fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) present a growing threat to agriculture, livestock, and the environment. While chemical pesticides like fipronil and IGRs carry environmental risks, natural minerals such as Hudson G2 attapulgite clay and Western Australian diatomaceous earth (DE) offer a complementary, low-impact solution. Hudson Resources supports research, trials, and bulk or sample supply to promote sustainable, environmentally safe fire ant management.
