Labeled “tramp ant” and among the 100 most invasive species, the yellow crazy ant has been identified in Lismore, New South Wales. They earned the moniker “crazy” for the darting movements they make. Yellow crazies don’t bite, they spray formic acid at their prey or foe that can blind and burn the skin. Known for joining colonies together, the yellow crazy ants can quickly form super colonies and will destroy local flora and fauna of the areas they invade. More
An ant fanatic in Canada did a video of joining two new yellow crazy ant colonies together. Watch

Nothing like watching and Ant hill in Operation…
Their bored out little hills in the stone pavement cracks is about a 1/8″ high… with tiny granules.
My bug man tells me that THEY eat
insulation on wires and anything
else in your home.They can kill off
fire ants,I didn’t think anything could
do that.Bug man sez= we can keep them under
control but we cannot eliminate them from
your home…
I hate ants, spiders , centipedes, wood roaches and most every bug that tries to invade my home seasonally.
So how do you feel about mice?
