Ant invasion by crazy raspberry ants hits Houston area homes
In Texas, voracious crazy raspberry ants spread across five Houston area counties since 2002, shorting electrical boxes and disrupting computers. Arrived via a cargo shipment through Houston port, they resist over the counter poisons, bite humans, and require multiple queen removal per colony. Scientists note they also feed on plants, predate beneficial insects, and damage infrastructure from pumps to gas meters. NASA Johnson Space Center and Hobby Airport areas report sightings with limited impact so far.
