I've heard molasses is good for getting rid of fire ants, hope that helps.

I am assuming it is outdoor. If so, the ants by themselves are harmless.

well if you want a chemical spray that is safe on vegetables use what i used to kill an ant infestation. Garden Safe :: Insect Killers
i got it at home depot for like $8

some may disagree with me but it worked, and my plants are fine now

I took care of them, i just got them up off the ground and sprayed poison around the only way up to the plants.So it's not even close to my babies.

Thanks
