ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Tawny crazy ants are an invasive species known for forming huge supercolonies and damaging electrical equipment and wildlife, but they are not found in Kent and remain limited to the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the South (including parts of Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama).
