: Kitty...anyway sorry for going off on a tangent about horned toads mostly a joke anyway...I don't know where you live..but anyway I live in S. Calif. Fire Ants are not a problem...I do keep my male in an outdoor enclosure all day & night which is on caster . I think the only way to destroy fire ant mounds is the kill the queen, & chemically by flooding the center of the mound .
: I would not worry about your Ig & fire ants..tough skinned as horned toads are...and not as scrumptious as say your dog! If you do see mounds around your place Id get a professional exterminator...toxic or non-toxic...and get rid of the bums!

I did some research on fire ants via the web. Gina, the native fireants the horned toads eat up, the imported version is bad news! The importrd fire ants are taking over and are far more nasty and hardier than the native version, as far as I can tell the horned toads are losing the battle!
