May 22, 2021 Share Efforts are underway in Australia to eradicate the last remaining pockets of aggressive yellow crazy ants. First discovered in Australia in the 1980s, the ants spray formic acid when aggravated, and have devastated populations of frogs, lizards and ground-nesting birds. Rangers are approaching the halfway mark of a 10-year eradication plan in Queensland and have killed off about 85% of the known infestations through aerial and ground baiting, but stubborn infestations remain. The yellow crazy ants are about 4mm long with a golden-brown body and have a lifespan of about 84 days. They are thought to have come to Australia inside shipping containers or other cargo.
