Did a Google search. Fire ants are omnivorous. Which explains why I had them living inside tomato plant stem. Perhaps the plant was ill and sent them an invite. When I dumped the pot it was inundated with them. I hate these critters. Glad to report the surrender is working. I am on a mission, determined to get rid of them.
