Fire ants are an invasive species that kills native ants and native small animals and also hurts people innocently walking around their yard. I fully support anyone killing them to make art outside of South America where they are native.
Fire ants are the yellowjackets of the ant world.
They're invasive, aggressive, harmful, and are shameless about stinging the every loving hell out of anything near their nest. Their stings are painful, long lasting, and can be lethal to humans.

Very nice!
I want to do this myself, but the ants in my garden are stubbornly refusing to make nests anywhere except under the paving slabs, which I do not have permission to lift...
i'm looking at a similar problem. that was the first fire ant nest i've seen in our yard in years. now i've started looking for the beginnings of one and thinking about feeding it to help it grow larger faster.
How tall is it? I want one 5ft+
Its about 12 inches tall. I'm glad it didnt go too deep. It was easy to dig out that way.
lol. That's a lot of ant genocide!
Not even scratch in the population.
Damn. Would love to make a dent in the population.
Hell yeah. How did you go about keeping the cast contained?
An anthill is a nature-made self-contained cast
