Yes, fire ants can kill worms. Fire ants are aggressive predators and scavengers that often attack soft-bodied invertebrates, including earthworms. They use their powerful mandibles to bite and sting their prey, injecting venom that immobilizes or kills it. Once the worm is subdued, fire ants may dismember it and carry the pieces back to their colony as food. In areas with high fire ant populations, earthworm numbers can decline significantly. This disruption can negatively affect soil health since earthworms play a crucial role in aeration, decomposition, and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Thus, fire ants can be harmful to worm populations.
