A number of other ant species are occasionally encountered in and around the home. The acrobat ant , Crematogaster sp., nests under stones, in stumps or dead wood and occasionally invade the home. These ants have a hear-shaped abdomen that is often held up over their bodies. They feed primarily on honeydew produced by ahids. It is not common in areas infested by the red imported fire ant.
Worker ants have relatively large heads compared to their bodies.
Their habits are similar to red imported fire ants, feeding on live and dead insects, seeds and honeydew outdoors and greasy food sources and sweets indoors. Although they nest primrily outdoors, they will forage in homes. Although they are omnivorous, they are difficult to attract to ant baits. Workers prey on insects and feed on honeydew produced by sucking types of insects such as aphids. These ants do not swarm.
