The little ones that don't bite and kinda look like sugar ants. They're more redish than sugar ants so I don't know exactly what they are. They walk in zig zag lines that's why I call them crazy ants.
They're in our office, coworkers are complaining that they're in their homes. Regular bug spray isn't doing anything to stop them.

Windex works on everything.

Tell your coworkers to dispose of their frozen lunch meals properly and clean the office. Ants don't congregate and celebrate a clean area

They arent getting in the kitchen area here at the office. They're all around the outside and getting into one of the bathrooms through an outside wall. The nasty little frickers are drinkin toilet water.

Wow,new invading species sweeping the southeast.
These are exactly like what i'm seeing in these articles.
Says they have a protective acid sheath that fire ants won't frick with.

Bingo. OP needs to tell his coworkers to stop living like homeless heroin addicts.

you people humor me.
Evidently you are confusing crazy ants with sugar ants.
Evidently these little guys don't actively search out food sources. They search out nesting sources such as the inside of your vehicle or home.

Evidently this is the type of ant I've been seeing coming in and out of our electrical receptacles in our kitchen. 1 or 2 a day but they're annoying.

We had these on one of our job sites. They did a lot of damage to the electrical systems of the dirt work equipment. Call you pest control guy ASAP, I think they treated the whole site with termador.

I heard these ants did about half a million in damages to a Cat Dealership in Houston Area.
