We're don't generally promote the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of animals. But under very specific conditions, we'd say it's OK.  For example, if the animals are exotic, invasive, poisonous, dangerous, and live in mounds of earth that likely bubbled up from the seventh circle of hell.

Kill Fire Ants...do everything you can do it. But if you can do it with a solar ant charmer and absolutely no pesticides, do that first.  This Ant Charmer converts the suns rays into low energy electric signals that attract ants to the device.  Once in the cone, the ants can't escape, and simply pile up in a mass of teaming ant flesh that is probably the most dangerous thing you will ever have in your back yard.  Frankly, I'm surprised that the government didn't develop these, seal them, and then write up a classified plan on how to use them as bio-terror weapons.  I am so afraid of the picture on the bottom...I can't tell you.  I'll just say I've had bad experiences, bad experiences that ended with me pantsless and screaming.

After you've collected a good number of ants (there's a gauge on the side that tells you roughly how many you've caught, topping out at 50,000,) close the device and lift it out of the ground (preferably while wearing a bio-hazard suit.) And then add soapy water to the ants to kill them.  Wash out the device, and do it all over again. 

Technically it's a very eco-friendly way to kill the bastards, but it seems extremely frightening to me.
