Acrobat ants (Crematogaster species) get their name from their unique ability to raise their abdomen over their thorax and head when they feel threatened. While they can sting, they are not dangerous to humans or pets. However, they quickly multiply, making infestations difficult to control without professional intervention.
While these ants are not as destructive as termites, they still pose a threat to structures and wiring, requiring professional pest control services to prevent infestations from spreading.
Acrobat ants are skilled invaders, often nesting in hidden, moist areas of a property. Here are some common warning signs:
✅ Ant Trails: You may see lines of ants moving along walls, baseboards, or near food sources.
✅ Piles of Debris: These ants excavate nesting sites, often leaving small piles of wood shavings and insulation fragments near entry points.
✅ Damp or Decaying Wood Damage: Acrobat ants prefer rotting wood, meaning they often nest in old trees, logs, and moisture-damaged structures.
✅ Electrical Issues: These ants are known to nest in electrical boxes, damaging wires and insulation, potentially leading to power failures or fire risks.
If you suspect an acrobat ant infestation, it’s essential to act quickly before the colony expands.
