You have Fire Ants aka Red Fire Ants. They are native to South America and have traveled to most parts of the lower half of the US and some other countries.
You will need to get some Fire Ant killer to sprinkle on them and make sure you don't accidently step in a bed of them. Their sting, which creats a large blister, hurts like the dickens.
And yes they do eat plants.
