That was supposed to be "ant" not "Aunt".

Well.......
You've got you an ant hill somewhere and it is probably a big one.
I can only tell you what happened to me......Never had an ant in my house that I know of until late in life when I was living in a very nice apartment, ground floor with a porch on one side , bird feeder and all that. I do not know where they came from but suddenly ants were coming in a long continuous line up onto the porch and up the wall and into the kitchen window back and forth, back and forth. I contacted the business office and turned to them to fix it. They did. The experts found that they had made a very huge aunt hill under the sidewalk that everyone walked every day. It had many "rooms" going down many stories deep and they sprayed it with something and the aunts never came back and I lived there about ten years.

I used to get ants swarming from my porch I expect they were Queen Ants off to reclaim new terrority. There was a crack in the cement and probably good dry conditions.
Reluctantly I used Aunt Killer powder and then later sealed the crack.

It happened to me once before, but they got into my sugar container. The little pests obviously love sweets. 🐜I found one solution for deterring ants from Wikihow: Store your honey in glass or plastic jars with airtight seals. Avoid plastic jars that do not seal well, as ants can easily get inside. Mason jars are a great option for this purpose.

I used to get aunts like crazy. For me, the exterminator helped eliminate that problem.
