About Us

As a grassroots movement, we are dedicated to protecting communities, wildlife, and the environment from the harmful effects of the current fire ant eradication strategy.

This campaign advocates for safer, sustainable alternatives that respect property rights and prioritise public health.

In partnership with the Australian Advocacy Group, the movement aims to raise awareness about the dangers of toxic pesticides used in the program and push for reforms that focus on targeted fire ant control and ecological solutions.

Together, they are calling for an end to the use of harmful chemical poisons and the adoption of more effective, environmentally conscious approaches.

Our Purpose

Our website serves as a platform to voice concerns, request crucial information, protect their properties and drive positive change. We are here to support our community in seeking answers and ensuring that pest control measures are conducted with the utmost respect for both people and the environment.

Join us in our mission to safeguard our homes and natural resources. Stay informed, stay engaged, and together, let’s work towards a safer and more sustainable future.

Destruction of Environment

We are deeply concerned about the environmental impact of the eradication plan on our local wildlife,organic fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, and natural surroundings. Our goal is to obtain and share critical information about the environmental studies conducted, and to advocate for sustainable practices that preserve our ecosystems

Safety and
Efficacy

We seek to clarify the safety and effectiveness of the chemicals used, such as S Methoprene and Pyriproxyfen. Our aim is to get access to evidence and detailed risk assessments to ensure that these substances do not adversely affect human health, animals, or the environment.

Treatment
Practices

We are committed to demanding better communication and consent practices. We question why property owners were not consulted prior to treatment and why some community members were left uninformed. We are pushing for 100% notification and the implementation of comprehensive consent procedures

Sarah McGuire - Founder

Sarah is a mother, an accountant and piano teacher who moved from the UK to Australia in 2003.

Living on acreage in South East Queensland, her connection to nature and focus on a low-toxicity lifestyle play an important role in her everyday life.

Disturbed by how the fire ant eradication program removed her choice to live according to her values, Sarah is determined to protect her family, her community, and the environment.

She has created a team of people campaigning for urgent reforms and advocating for more sustainable, rational solutions.
