CARIBBEAN CRAZY ANT PEST CONTROL NAPLES FLORIDA

CARIBBEAN CRAZY
ANT



            The
Caribbean Crazy Ant for many years has been a nuisance to the east coast of
Florida.  We now have the Caribbean Crazy
Ant here in Southwest Florida.  This ant resembles
a small fire ant in appearance but is harmless and does not sting or bite.  It does however, infest neighborhood with
multitudes of ants that overrun homes and businesses. 



            The Caribbean Crazy Ant is a small golden brown to
reddish brown ant with a smooth glossy body covered with tiny hairs has longer
antennae, like the black crazy ant.  This
ant likes to nest near the ground under objects for protection.  It has been found under palm fronds, logs,
railroad ties, trees, shrubs, along sidewalks, cracks in concrete, leaves,
lumber, electrical conduits, metal, mulch, and even sod.   This ant is extremely resourceful in
foraging for food.  Each Caribbean Crazy
Ant colony could have over 5 million or more ants and have been known to have
millions of ants trail over a 1/2 mile from their nest for food.   They will feed on dead insects and tend
honeydew producers on plants.  They also
group together multiple colonies to support their nests.  This ant can infest total communities within
a short period of time because of their numbers in each colony.



            The control of the Caribbean Crazy Ant is not as easy as
other types of ants.  First nesting sites
need to be removed from the area as stated above.  Clean up all debris and items that are on or
near the ground.  The nests should be
located or the trails followed back to see where the nests could be
located.  This ant will move their nests
rapidly when disturbed.  With many
millions of worker ants in each colony, a repeated insecticide spraying
followed by a thorough baiting with sweet ant killing baits of all the infested
area must be applied.
