Invasive species daunt native plants, fish, wildlife and public infrastructure. They expenditure taxpayers billions of dollars a year.
Invasive species negatively import plants and animals in our forests, farms, waters and backyards. These are non-native species that arrange environmental, economic, or human health risks.

Invasive species in the U.S. source severe environmental and economic damages that total more than $120 billion annually (2005). Roughly 42 percent of species listed as threatened or near extinction are at risk primarily because of invasives.
More than three-fourths of the cases were children under the age of 10, including one Utah girl.
During the summer, she purchased two frogs at a carnival in Salem and when transporting them home got some of the water the frogs were in on her hands. A few days later she didn't feel too well, went to the doctor and was eventually tested. Not long after that, the Utah Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed up at her door.
"They got me sick, and this was the same cage they were in," Anneka Johns told KSL News.
Her mother, Jana Johns, explained, "They (CDC officials) actually took the little frogs themselves, swabbed their bellies, swabbed the little container they lived in, took samples of their food; so they were able to test very thoroughly, and it came back positive."
The Utah Department of Health says small children are more likely to get salmonella.
