Ant Colonies We Ship to Nebraska

14 of our 46 ant species can ship to Nebraska. 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 Nebraska shakes out.

What we can't ship — and why

32 of our species can't cross the Nebraska line. USDA-APHIS requires a PPQ 526 permit per species, per destination state; these aren't currently approved for Nebraska: Trachymyrmex septentrionalis, Solenopsis carolinensis, Myrmecocystus mimicus, Pogonomyrmex barbatus, Veromessor pergandei, Camponotus modoc, Myrmecocystus mexicanus, Dorymyrmex bureni, Pseudomyrmex pallidus, Camponotus floridanus, Camponotus castaneus, Pheidole morrisii, Solenopsis pergandei, Pogonomyrmex badius, Pheidole dentata, Crematogaster minutissima, Pheidole lamia, Solenopsis xyloni, Pogonomyrmex maricopa, Dorymyrmex insanus, Odontomachus brunneus, Lasius pallitarsis, Pheidole littoralis, Pheidole metallescens, Solenopsis geminata, Novomessor cockerelli, Colobopsis impressa, Acromyrmex versicolor, Pogonomyrmex rugosus, Pogonomyrmex californicus, Myrmecocystus navajo, Camponotus snellingi.
