Hi Kat:

We have them here too and call them fire ants. I accidentally sat down on a hill at night and never moved so fast in my life.

The one thing that I have found that works for sure is to pour kerosene or gasoline on the mound. I know it's anti-environmental, but hey, sue me. They will be gone the next day.
