Florida Crazy Ants
Choice Pest Management
Appearance:
Crazy ants range from red-brown to grayish, and even black in color.
Size:
Range from 1/12-inch to 1/8-inch in length.
Behavior:
Crazy ants prefer sweets such as honeydew from insects. They also feed on seeds and insects for protein. They rarely follow strong trails and are known for their erratic movements.
Habitat:
The Crazy ant is highly adaptable and can live in both very dry and moist habitats. They typically nest outdoors in the soil and in the cavities of trees and shrubs, but frequently enter homes in the fall or after rain. Once inside your home, they will nest in wall and floor voids, especially near hot water pipes and heaters.
Unique Characteristics:
This small ant gets it name from its characteristic erratic and rapid movement in its search for food.
