The insects I see do bite. They appear to have their nest inside our electrical panel in the kitchen, possibly the threshold at our entry door (there is a slight gap there, but I do not actually see these insects in this area. I will repair this threshold.) They also appear in the living room, bedroom and bathroom counters. Can bites from these crazy ants cause illness in humans? If bombing would help, what should we use? Thanks in advance for your help.
We do not recommend using a bug bomb to treat for crazy ants. They actually do not have a stinger like a fire ant but can bite humans. We recommend speaking to your doctor if you feel like you have gotten ill after a bite or if you have any allergic reactions to ant bites. They can build nests and cause damage to areas where there are electrical wiring etc. We would recommend that you treat using the products in our Crazy Ant Kit. It would be better to use a bait labeled for crazy ants like the Advion Ant Bait Gel inside in areas you see them trailing in addition to the kit.
