I know this is a stupid question but, can fire ants be destroyed by fire????
YES!! if you spray/mist them with rubbing alcohol and then flick a bic ,they will pop like pop-corn when the flame front gets to them.
Do NOT try this on wood or in a grassy area, also this just might set off newer fire alarms that do see blue flame.
