They shrug off many sprays and recolonize fast, so control takes a sustained, baited approach around the structure. Call (209) 563-1650.

Why crazy-ant super-colonies defeat spot-spraying
Tawny and black crazy ants form super-colonies: many cooperating queens spread across a sprawling network of nests with no central target to eliminate. They do not sting and they are not tidy trail-builders — they boil out of mulch, leaf litter, landscape timbers and potted plants in fast, erratic numbers that seem to come from every direction at once.
That structure is exactly why a can of spray fails. You knock down the ants on the patio and the super-colony, feeding from untreated land and dozens of satellite nests, simply refills the space within days. Control has to be sustained around the whole structure and yard rather than aimed at a single nest or trail.
Protecting electrical equipment and clearing the harborage
Crazy ants have a habit that sets them apart: they pack into electrical boxes, meter housings, irrigation timers, AC units and outdoor outlets, where the bodies of dead ants can bridge contacts and cause shorts or equipment faults. We treat around that equipment specifically, because it is both a nesting site and the point where the ants do real nuisance damage.
The other half is denying them harborage. Crazy ants shelter under anything that holds moisture and cover on the ground — landscape timbers, stacked pots, mulch piled against the wall, leaf litter and yard debris — so clearing and drying those zones removes the staging areas next to the house. On a recurring plan we keep the perimeter and the harborage points treated through the warm months when the super-colonies are most active.
