- Behaviour: Highly aggressive, form supercolonies, and displace other ant species; known for erratic, rapid movement.
- Habitat: Prefer warm, moist environments; commonly found in yards, electrical equipment, and inside homes.
- Diet: Omnivorous—feed on sweets, proteins, live and dead insects, and household food scraps.

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Diatomaceous earth
Problem: Crazy ants groom themselves frequently, removing diatomaceous earth from their bodies.
Result: Minimal long-term impact on the infestation

Borax and sugar bait
Problem: Crazy ants are not attracted to sugar-based baits
Result: Bait is ignored and infestation continues
Soapy water spray
Problem: Soapy water only kills ants it directly contacts
Result: Does not eliminate the entire colony
Vinegar and water spray
Problem: Crazy ants are not repelled or killed by vinegar
Result: Infestation persists despite repeated spraying
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
