Information, Identification, & Extermination
You can identify a Crazy Ant by its “crazy” movements after being disturbed. They look like they are aimlessly scrambling around. From the standpoint of an exterminator, they are tough to get rid of because of their crazy movements. Since they run around in crazy patterns, it can be hard to identify a trail to treat.
Crazy Ants do not form mounds, which makes them very difficult to locate and exterminate effectively. Treating ants is a challenge in general, but without mounds to give away their locations, extermination becomes more difficult.
Crazy ants are aggressive foragers. They are widespread and abundant. Invasive by nature, Crazy Ants forage in numbers and the colonies grow rapidly when well fed. They can be found to number in the billions per acre.
