Fire ants have set up shop in the bottom of my echeveria pot. Is this a problem?

Post Body

I tapped the pot on the ground and shook a lot out but they have been swarming out of the bottom like crazy, carrying eggs I think. (little white things) Will they hurt it? It looks as healthy as it ever has but I haven't taken it out of the pot yet (because it's 8:00 pm and I may or may not be on my 5th beer). I have some of those poison traps that they carry the poison out to the colony, can I just stick one of those to the side of the pot to get the rest out?

Help I'm drunk and don't know what to do :(
