Thousands of ants in a kitchen would certainly constitute an “issue” for anyone. Why are they there? Most of the time it is a crumb or spilled food/drink of some type and the ants find it. In most cases it is a trail of ants but in this kitchen it was ant city! There were numerous large trails with thousands of ants! The source was some homemade honey in the pantry and the cover was open. As you can see hundreds of ants bit the dust trying to get a taste of the honey. It’s like honey quick sand!
