Crazy Ant Infestation

Have an Ant Problem?

Crazy Ant Infestations

Crazy ants are a very difficult type of ant to control and are generally found outdoors in southern climates and indoors in the northern ones. They can live in both moist and dry habitats, often nesting in small cracks and crevices and have been known to infest a/c units, often short circuiting them.

They are one of the few species that have a peculiar attraction to electrical wiring and components although no one is sure why. Crazy ants have a tendency to explore human habitats and can cause damage to electronics in unusual ways.

If the ants fail to chew up the electronic product, their carcasses can cause just as much destruction. As one ant finds its way into a transformer and gets electrocuted, it immediately waves it abdomen in the air, omitting a particular scent (pheromone) that attracts many other ants to the scene to search for the "attacker." If they touch the first ant or a hot switch, they will be also be electrocuted, sending more pheromones into the air and calling even more ants to their location. As each of the ants dies off, the bodies build up in electric switches or devices, causing switches to get stuck or the system to short-circuit. The ants frequently also build bridges in electrical systems, such as air conditioners. The soil and moisture can also cause these systems to short-circuit and require expensive repairs.
