Taking them out is easier said then done... lol they are in 35 gallon pots.
If I am going to attempt to take them out I will have to wait until the end of the week as we have another front getting it down into the low 40's by tuesday night...

Do be careful when dealing with fire ants because their bite is painful. To get rid of them initially, I would probably take the pot outside and take the root system out of the pot because they may have made a nest inside the pot. Then hose them off and repot with fresh soil. Use the ant traps to discourage future infestations. HTH.
