Simple way for removing red ants from garden is Just pour little Kerosene at the ant hill or from where the ants come IE. ant nest. It all will die or vanish in 6 hours.
Or else you can put some waste cloth or papers in the any nest and fire it this will disburse the fire ants. (Red ants)

There are two ways to kill ants. The first is to dehydrate them by laying out piles of instant grits ( a corn product usually located in the cereal section of the grocery store) at the point of entry and along their trail. They will think of the grits as a food source and consume the pellets. The grits will in turn absorb moisture from the ant's body, thus killing it (instant grits are specially formulated to absorb water more rapidly that regular grits, thus they are more effective). The second method to kill ants is to feed them a mixture of 1 part active dry yeast, 2 parts molasses, and 1 part sugar. They will be attracted to the sugar in the mixture and will eat it readily. Once consumed the yeast will produce gas in the ant, and because they can't expel the gas, it will kill them.
Another method of elimination involves the elimination of the nest. If you can find the nest, you can try pouring boiling water over the nest. If that isn't sufficient, you can try adding cayenne pepper to the boiling water, or using citrus extracts. If you have multiple nests, you could dig up a bucket of ants from one nest and dump it on another nest. Ants are very territorial, and they will readily hunt and kill invading colonies

You can go to the L&G center near you and buy some ant dust or sevin dust. Just dust the hill and in a day the workers should all be dead. Then the queen will not be far behind. The most common ant dusts are pyrethrins which are relatively short lived and safe. Sevin dust has directions on it for use on your dog or cat to kill fleas, so it's pretty safe too.
When they are all dead use a rake to level out the hill.
Don't count on ants exploding themselves. Only certain people are that stupid.
