acrobat ant control
Acrobat ants, scientifically known as Crematogaster spp., are adaptable and distinctive pests. They derive their name from their unique ability to raise their abdomen over their head and thorax when disturbed, resembling an acrobat performing a balancing act.
Originally inhabitants of forested areas, they have successfully adapted to urban and suburban environments, thriving in both natural landscapes and manufactured structures.
habitat and nesting habits
Outdoors, these ants will nest in moist, decaying wood, often under stones or within leaf litter. However, they also invade homes and establish nests in wall voids, insulation, and beneath carpeting. They are opportunistic foragers attracted to sweets, proteins, and fats found in kitchens, pantries, and garbage areas.
how do acrobat ants come indoors?
Acrobat ants enter homes through small cracks, gaps around windows and doors, and openings near utility lines and pipes. They are skilled at finding vulnerabilities in a home’s exterior and can exploit these to gain access indoors.
Their small size allows them to squeeze through tiny openings, emphasizing the importance of regular pest inspections and preventative maintenance.

seasonal habits of acrobat ants
In spring and summer, acrobat ants are active outdoors, busily foraging for food and expanding their colonies. They prefer to stick around gardens, wooded areas, and other large structures.
During winter, while mostly dormant indoors, they may continue searching for food inside homes, adapting to indoor climates and remaining a year-round concern for homeowners.
