Live Ants to Western Australia

Western Australia has strict rules on which ant species can be brought into the state. We can only post live queens and colonies to WA for species on the Western Australian Organism List as permitted.

Species we can send to WA

• Pheidole (Big-Headed Ant)
• Iridomyrmex bicknelli (Black Pavement Ant)
• Iridomyrmex purpureus (Meat Ant)
• Rhytidoponera metallica (Green-Headed Ant)

Starter kits that include I. bicknelli can also be sent to WA. If your cart has any other live species, checkout won't offer shipping to a WA address.

Equipment, nests and food can be posted to WA as normal.

Tasmania

We can't post any live ants to Tasmania. Equipment, nests and food are fine.
