Chickens don't eat LFA, but they do eat LFA bait, so having chickens around actually complicates the LFA conundrum. AFAIK, LFA only has one natural predator, and it only exists in central or south America.
There is a lot of research going on about modifying fungi to be effective against regular fire ants, hopefully some of that will translate to LFA control.
