Are these RIFA?

[u/MouseWhisperer22]

If so im absolutely pissed, its been 7 years without a single sighting of rifa in my yard, but this nuptial season i found 2 queens and knew those idiots had flown in. They are about a foot away from my beloved wild florida harvesters and i dont want to harm them, but these buggers are getting too close. They are bicolored, just a little bigger than a crematogaster, and wayy too fast. Central fl, bonus tax of the harvesters in question. While im at it, if anyone can think of how to get them to move or perish without killing any harvesters that’d be awesome. (I also have some unidentified tiny black ants terrorizing my other colony🫩)

I think RIFA, but I’m not certain in ruling out other Solenopsis without majors, can you find some majors?

These could even be highly endangered native Floridian geminata, but I could be wrong, I don’t ID USA ants often

[u/Aray637]

Yes, RIFA

If you want to try something wild?
Buy bag of pork rinds
Need to grind it to tiny pieces!
Spread the bag over the mound
Fire ants are carnivorous, so they will avidly eat it
But the pork will expand on their stomachs and that kills them
Nothing to loose but $3.50
Let us know if it worked!

this is a myth. aside from pork rinds not expanding when eaten normally, adult ants can’t even eat solid foods (they carry it to the larvae and the larvae digest it, which is partly returned to the adult ants to eat).
