We don't have fire ants, but we have red ants. They are bad but not as bad a fire ants, I would bet. I found an old plastic bottle of Ortho Malathion and have poured very dilute solutions from a watering can down a bunch of red ant colonies around here. Been pretty happy with the results, but I have to admit I haven't read up on Malathion's effects on the environment yet. The next day the colony has collapsed and the ants disappeared. Maybe that might work with fire ants.
