Every year non-native species are introduced into the United States through accidental import. Many of these species such as Zebra Mussels, Argentine ants, Fire ants, Rasberry Crazy Ants and Hydrilla become an invasive nuisance causing destruction for homeowners, ranchers, farmers and natural ecosystems. Invasive species can accidentally be transported through camping equipment, watercraft, and plants.
