Crazy ants are taking over Texas, and it isn't fun

Quote:
The wacko ants first popped up in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of a problem ever since. The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions, appliances and other electronic devices. No one is entirely sure why.

See my previous post on it and follow the attachment steps. Termidor is the solution and it works. Solution based on an A&M study. Don't let the exterminators rip you off with monthly service specially designed for the crazy ants and about $165 a pop.

I have never seen or had any issues with Crazy Ants. But I'm an expert at eradicating ants and would welcome the challenge. Some sticky/sweet concoction mix with poison gets them every time.

When we lived near Houston we had them everywhere. Outside and inside. The ones inside were smaller and would get in our bed, closets, cabinets. etc. They even stopped our electricity by gumming up the breakers. We put out bombs in every room and that would solve the problem for about two weeks. Then they were back. When I put a couple of bombs in the crawl space under the house that did the trick. They never came back after that.

Crazy ants are the new fire ants (and possibly worse)
