Authorities have moved to limit the risk of fire ants entering New South Wales (NSW) after the invasive super pests were detected on the Gold Coast, just 5.5 kilometres (3.4 miles) from the state border.

The nest, which has since been destroyed, was found last week on private land believed to have been used as a pony club at Tallebudgera.
