GAN laws v.s. Ant Hill refill laws
So I was browsing the forum here looking at people who had purchased GAN queens when the though struck me: Why can I order 50 harvester ants from Utah and have them shipped here, but I can't buy a GAN queen in Georgia without breaking state laws? Just curious.
Re: GAN laws v.s. Ant Hill refill laws
Because they are not supplying you a Queen ant. Having a queen ant means that it can reproduce and in doing so if it's not a native ant to the area can cause a lot of damage to the eco system. That's why GAN only allows sales in the same state. When you order the ants for those ready made ant farms they are all non reproducing ants.
A prime example of how bad it can get is the Solenopsis species, they are not native to North America but because of accidental transportation into the USA they have cause Millions of dollars of damage and so forth.

The harvester ants which are advertised to lay eggs are unmated and will only produce males.
