They do not do that! Ants do not kill their own kind unless threatened.The male ant simply dies since it has no further purpose beyond mating.

The most environmentally safe way to kill fire ants is to feed them fire ant bait. What this does is cause the queen to stop reproducing, as fire ants bring the bait to the queen to eat. The queen will stop reproducing, and the current ants will eventually die due to age. The traditional way is using pesticides. Brands such as Amdro are popular choices. These should be applied to the ant colony, or wherever the ants are most concentrated. This tactic's intent is to kill all the ants at once. If the queen survives, she will be able to continue creating new ants.
