Tom Rasberry is working with Texas A&M and TDA to find some solutions to this severe problem. At this time there has not been any state or federal funding to do the needed research on these ants. The research that has been done so far has been funded by industry, TAMU, and Tom Rasberry with Budget Pest Control.
You can go to Tom Rasberry’s Blog from this web site to keep up with developments and tracking of the Crazy Rasberry Ants.We would recommend that anyone who visits this web site, write your State and Federal Representatives and ask them to immediately fund research on this invasive species of ant!
