I don't think the original post was talking about little mounds as you would have in your yard. The mounds that I have noticed are everywhere you see an open field and especially it you take a drive west on 44 to wards Inverness and look in the fields and areas along the road. There are thousands of these, some only 6' apart. I inspected a couple where I could get access and there was no tell tell sign of ants, such as entrance hole on top. I kicked it and if there were ants they would swarm ready to bite. They all looked like a shovel of dirt. I know its no big deal, but am only curious as to what they are.
