Have you used it on this type of ant?

I never heard of them but will save this info just in case.

I haven’t had these type of ants... but I used the borax/powdered sugar for some large black ants that I had for years. Cleared them up within weeks and haven’t had them come back for several years.

Doing a quick search for ‘diatomaceous earth borax crazy ants’ brings up numerous result pages, at least one of which lists “crazy ants” as being susceptible. I would think that if it works on other types of ants, that it should work on them.

I’ve kept an eye out for the black ants returning, but haven’t had to set out any borax-sugar for a couple of years- and no ants. And I live in the woods... really and literally in the woods, so much more susceptible to having ants around than any urban or suburban home.
