Probably, I'm incorrect as these prefer trees/wood vs. land environment.
Can be as bad a carpenter ants in voiding trees interior and eating your
house. The former, I've seen in many a stressed live oak.

Neither carpenter ants or acrobat ants "eat" a house. In homes that have
"foam" based insulation, the acrobats can make more of a mess when the
excavate into the foam. When both CA and acrobats are in a tree they are
in already rotted wood that they are cleaning out the diseased/rotted
wood, actually a benefit to the tree.
