Unexpected Guest

Yesterday I received a large palm from a merchant based in Florida and when I hurried to get it open and warm, I noticed movement at the base - a swarm of fire ants with everything they can carry were making their way out onto my balcony. I immediately filmed while panicked. I shut the patio doors and found some Ant killer. It's now the morning of day 3 and I think they have found a space under my enclosed porch. I'm on the third floor and have no idea if they made it to the ground. It was snowing and 32°F they day they landed, but it's slowly getting warmer. I don't know what to do?
