Ant Colonies We Ship to Maryland
20 of our 46 ant species can ship to Maryland. USDA-APHIS makes live-ant shipping a state-by-state matter — each species needs a PPQ 526 permit for each destination state — so here is exactly how Maryland shakes out.

USDA-APHIS requires a PPQ 526 permit per species, per destination state; these aren't currently approved for Maryland: Myrmecocystus mimicus, Pogonomyrmex barbatus, Veromessor pergandei, Camponotus modoc, Myrmecocystus mexicanus, Pseudomyrmex pallidus, Camponotus floridanus, Solenopsis pergandei, Pogonomyrmex badius, Crematogaster minutissima, Pheidole lamia, Solenopsis xyloni, Pogonomyrmex maricopa, Dorymyrmex insanus, Odontomachus brunneus, Lasius pallitarsis, Pheidole littoralis, Pheidole metallescens, Solenopsis geminata, Novomessor cockerelli, Acromyrmex versicolor, Pogonomyrmex rugosus, Pogonomyrmex californicus, Myrmecocystus navajo, Camponotus decipiens, Camponotus discolor. You can still read their care guides — and rules change as permits are granted.
