Beekeepers from the south have reported that placing wax moth infested supers over a fire-ant colony is a great way to clean them out.  (The ants find the wax moths quite tasty.)  I suppose if you stored them over a mound, the effect would be the same.
Personally tho, I'd hate to deal with the ants...... Glad we don't have them here in michigan.
