Fire ants eat almost anything, but primarily other insects. Workers sting other insects and then tear them into manageable pieces, which they take back into the colony. Fire ants are attracted to the oils in insects, worms and seeds. This is why oils are used as attractants and insecticide solvents in fire ant baits. During the winter months, fire ants may be less attracted to oils. Fire ants are also attracted to sugars, such as nectar or aphid honeydew. Although fire ant workers can chew, they can only swallow liquids. Solid foods that are brought back into the colony are digested by larvae in the fourth stage of development and fed to other members of the colony.

Red ants eat basically anything, but for the most part they eat other insects. They are attracted to oils that make up most insect species. Another food they are attracted to are different forms of sugar such as nectar.
