Description
The crazy ants are is usually 3/8" inch and known for their characteristic rapid and erratic movement. The worker ants have extremely long legs, making them relatively easy to identify.

The crazy ant's diet will vary from grease, sweets and even other insects. Once a colony locates a food source, hundreds of workers will be seen crawling all over the food.

Habitat
Crazy ants are highly adaptable and will nest in a variety of locations, from very dry to moist. They will nest under objects, in rotten wood or trash, in tree cavities, as well as in debris left standing in buildings for long periods of time.

Control Strategies
These ants feed on a variety of foods including grease, sweets, and other insects. While crazy ants need moisture, elimination of water by itself will not get rid of these ants since they can survive under a wide range of conditions. Elimination of food sources and nest sites are equally important in the management of this ant.
