Not really, because there is still a hive nearby which they are protecting. You are a potential predator that they are trying to move on. They might be a nuisance. Indeed, they might be a invasive and dangerous nuisance which we need to be exterminated, but that does not make them evil, and neither does it require glee to carry out that task. They are ants is all. They have, in evolutionary terms, found and developed a niche for themselves just as we have.
