We've seen our fair share of pest problems while providing pest control services to northeast Georgia over the past 40 years. Everything from crazy termite stories to bed bug issues, but a new pest that has yet to reach our area has caught our attention over the past few weeks as a real contender as one of the craziest.
Known as Hairy, Crazy Ants (Nylanderia pubens) have spread rapidly over the past 9 years from Texas into Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. Many pest control services don't know what to do about these "Crazy" pests because of their rapid speed and reproduction capabilities.
They get their nickname from the sporadic and quick movement and the light fuzz that covers their abdomen. They are hard to control because once one ant has been killed it sends a chemical warning message to the rest of the colony.
They like to hide in moist, protected areas and can even short out electrical equipment. These crazy ants can eat just about anything. Most scientist believe that they have been traveling in hay bales, cargo containers, potted plants, motorcycles and moving vans.
Although we haven't seen these hairy, crazy ants while performing pest control services in Northeast Georgia, we're keeping an eye out for them to stay up to date on their movements and proper treatments.
I'm looking for a great quotes that i can use on my everyday task and duties. Lucky enough to drop by on your blog. Thanks.
