If those TRULY are fire ants then let me tell you this. Fire ants are the devil. And you can't kill the devil.
I HATE those things !!!!
I'm forever fighting huge mounds of them at the horse barn. And if you get lucky enough to get stung by them, OMG. Its like a electric shock and then comes pain and itching and a blister. And pain and itching for weeks.
Oh how I hate them.
I have yet to find anything, powerful or home made, that will kill them. Some stuff makes them move, though. To another area. Only to come back eventually.
I've had my entire horses side covered in huge welts from those @%@@#$%. I have had painful stings from them, 2 in my neck just recently. They are always worse (more mounds coming up) after a rain, so they may be looking for moisture, esp. since they are under your water dish.
You need to wait until they are back and then backtrack to see where they are coming from. They will form a "2 way highway". Follow it back to the point of entry in your house. Once far enough away from the reptile cage use this product.
Warning, it stinks like rotten cabbage. Truly disgusting. And I'm not convinced it kills the ants, I think they just move away from the stink, LOL. Either way, I always sprinkle it on a mound and they will be gone, only to return elsewhere, though. You could block their entry point with a bunch of it. Use a nose clip...
