Apparently, they are. A pressure switch on one of my water pumps was acting erratically, so I opened it up and found the fire ants. Looks like they were shorting the contacts, so I cleaned everything up and it runs fine.
So my conclusion is these switches spark when contacting causing ozone which attracts the ants.
Better watch anything electrical that causes sparking when operation.
