If they are, they would be the furthest north sighting of them so far[0]. Notably, the ants in your video don't actually move like rasberry crazy ants but they appear more like a normal disturbed ant nest. It's hard to describe how unusual coming across them is, but take a look at this video for how they look when you encounter them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgUOufiQw6M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgUOufiQw6M (ignore pretty much everything the video author says =)
You're more likely dealing with something like a Pharaoh ant, which are fairly common in your area.

- borski 13y agoWe had pharaoh ants for a long time. Whatever you do, DO NOT SPRAY THEM. If you do, they will divide the colonies and come back later in hoards. Use bait traps, so that once the scouts regurgitate food into the other ants they all for together.
