alvisbrigis discovered 2 months ago- They are called crazy Rasberry ants, after the man who discovered them about six years ago. They're hairy and reddish-brown in color. Rasberry said they invade electrical systems, overwhelm homes and clog pumps. The normal ant controls do not work. It's not enough just to kill the queen. Experts say each colony has multiple queens that have to be taken out. Rasberry said, "My biggest concern was that they were going to spread throughout the Gulf Coast region and have devastating effects on the ecological system."

stephfoster rated 2 months ago- Was just discussing these with relatives earlier today.

anneliese rated 2 months ago- From the page: "It does not take long to find a different type of ant just south of Houston in Pearland, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday. An exterminator said the ants are getting easier and easier to find, but are impossible to get rid of."
