Default Crazy Ants
I have been seeing Rasberry Crazy ants in about one out of ten homes that I inspect lately. The biggest problem with them is that there are usually a Gazillion of them. I've developed some effective techiques to control them using fipronil, cypermethrin and baits. Here is a link with some good info on CRAZY ANTS: ht...tp://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/ants/exotic_tx.cfm

They say the possible origin of the Crazy ant is the Caribbean. I don't think Aarvarks and anteaters are indigenous to that area.
