The hair and ants moving erratically native of South America and the Caribbean in the United States since the 1950s, but now moving pests in Louisiana.
Agency sent a pest control sulfur in a sample of the "crazy ants felt" a museum of Louisiana hinge state, where the Secretary of the Victoria Bayless species identification for the first time in Louisiana.
Bayless said the ants, whose scientific name is Nylanderia pubens, appeared in Florida in the 1950s and Texas in 2002. Since then, hair crazy ants came to South Texas, had been expected, such as etymologists Bayless arrival in Louisiana.
Sulfur is the only place that was found on the hair crazy ants so far, and Bayless said the speed of their migration to the rest of the state of Louisiana can not be predicted because of the new climate.
The researchers have not yet found a way to prevent or get rid of ants.
According to Bayless, the common name of the ants indicates the way in which they move.
"These movements are very irregular, so that it looks crazy," she said.
Bayless said the main difference between these species and other ant species is the size of the colonies. Can be one of the colony contains millions of lesions because there are multiple queens, or the ants head, and working together.
She felt crazy ants multiply rapidly and do not respond to the means of natural pest control.
Ants spread of people are moving, such as pick up flower pots and put them down in a different environment. Bayless said their deployment and live under things.
She has also been felt by the crazy ants in the walls of houses. They can cause a shortage of electricity because they accumulate in large numbers.
A student of biology Ina Tillison she "lost her mind" if I found ants in her crazy hair.
"It would not be able to stay at home," she said, explaining that they are allergic to ants.
Said Bayless felt crazy ants bite, and they cause allergic reactions similar to other ants bites.
Because the species originated in tropical climates, and said Bayless will be limited ants in their migration north because of colder climates.
The introduction of ants crazy hair to the site where it is not the mother and the possible cause of the imbalance in the ecosystem.
"All the invasive species could potentially be a very serious problem," said Bayless.
In the state of Texas, and ants get hives and eat the larvae, causing a shortage of bees. Bayless said this also affects agriculture because there are fewer bees to pollinate.
She said this also causes economic issues because of the additional costs of beekeepers in an attempt to get rid of ants.
Bayless said there is a lot more research to be done in order to learn more about this invasive species, such as how to lower the population and how to avoid them in the deployment of homes.
