Fire Ant Eggs in Grounded are useful for provoking insect fights or adding Fire Ant rage to a Waft Emitter; the cited item entry lists no crafting recipe for them. Leave an egg alone and it can hatch, or trash it or destroy it at the source if you want to prevent that.

Choose what to do based on your goal

Your goal What to do What to expect
Start a fight between insects Drop an egg near other insects. The Grounded Wiki says the egg can provoke nearby insects to fight, creating a chance to collect parts from enemies they weaken or kill. Source: Grounded Wiki
Trigger a Fire Ant raid Put the egg in a Waft Emitter. Each Fire Ant Egg is listed as adding eight rage to the Fire Ant faction. Source: Grounded Wiki
Get another ant to spawn Leave the egg alone until its timer runs out. It can hatch into a Fire Worker Ant or Fire Soldier Ant. Source: Grounded Wiki
Avoid a hatch Trash the egg after pickup or destroy it at its source. The general resources guidance recommends those options for eggs you do not want to hatch. Source: Grounded Wiki

How long until a Fire Ant Egg hatches?

The Fire Ant Egg entry describes a timer with three segments of eight in-game hours. The first segment is filled when the egg is created, leaving sixteen in-game hours before the timer completes. At completion, the egg is destroyed and spawns either a Fire Worker Ant or a Fire Soldier Ant. Source: Grounded Wiki

The available guidance does not say that storing an egg prevents it from hatching. If you do not want another ant to appear, use the trash or source-destruction option rather than relying on storage.

Are Fire Ant Eggs used for crafting?

The Fire Ant Egg entry lists no crafting use. Do not confuse it with other ant eggs: the listed Bratburst recipe uses Red Ant Eggs, while the listed Omelant recipe uses Black Ant Eggs. Those recipes do not establish a recipe for Fire Ant Eggs. Fire Ant Egg · Recipes

How certain are these mechanics?

The item, resources, recipe, and Waft Emitter details come from community-maintained Grounded Wiki pages. The available references do not include official Obsidian confirmation or establish which current game build they apply to. If your game behaves differently—especially around the timer or recipes—check the item behavior in your own build.
