The Crazy Rasberry ant or Rasberry Crazy ant is an invasive species of ant found near Houston, Texas.
The species has been named "crazy" because of the ants' random, nonlinear movements, and "Rasberry" after the exterminator Tom Rasberry who first noticed they were a problem in 2002. Scientists believe they are related to the Caribbean crazy ant. This ant has yet to be identified to species due to confusion regarding the taxonomy of the genus, and have for now named the species Paratrechina species near pubens.There is currently a large infestation in five counties around Houston, Texas. The ants appear to prefer the warmth and moistness of the coast.
Appearance The ants are about 3 millimeters long (equivalent of one-eighth inch) and are covered with reddish-brown hairs. The colonies have multiple queens.They feed on ladybugs, fire ants and Attwater's prairie chicken hatchlings, as well as plants. They are able to out-compete fire ants because they reproduce faster.The ants are not attracted to ordinary ant baits, are not controlled by over-the-counter pesticides,and are harder to fully exterminate because of the fact that their colonies have multiple queens.
