Crazy Ants

Are crazy ants dangerous?

Crazy ants are a dangerous species of ant that cause numerous difficulties for humans and our property:

• Crazy ants invade electric equipment in such large numbers that they cause shorts and other costly damage.
• The food we eat and the surfaces we touch can become contaminated with bacteria and pathogens from their body and legs.
• Crazy ants can be a menace to native ant populations.
• Livestock and small animals often suffer from damage to their eyes and ears caused by crazy ants.

Why do I have a crazy ant problem?

Crazy ants love the warm weather in the US, and they would die if they were exposed to cold temperatures. If it gets too chilly outside, these ants will go inside to find warmth.

Crazy ants are first attracted to human settlements because they offer ample food sources and a place to build their nests.

If these creatures are nesting or feeding in your yard, they can easily find their way into your home or garage.
