The “crazy ant” is one of the most widespread species of ant in the world.
It is considered to be a pest both indoors and outdoors depending on the climate.
Mr Yes added: “It is a very adaptable species, able to live in both dry and humid environments, but it prefers warm areas, which explains why it has tried in the Axarquia.”
“Their nests are difficult to find, often in cracks in walls or under stones, and often far from where they are found.”
