Fire ants are not native to many areas, which is why they are invasive. Any invasive species has the ability to destroy any habitat it is not native to. Fire ants can cause large amounts of damage to homes, people, and other animals. This means that they will harm others physically, financially or even mentally and should be eradicated.
