I would start by not leaving food all over your mom's basement. Then starve the cats until they start eating ants.

And that's on top of the 20-50 i squish with my hands throughout the day when petting cats just to make sure they don't get covered in them (not fun when you pet your animal and a dozen ants fall off)

According to a pest control website, it states:

An interior infestation involves the entire colony of ants establishing a nest inside your home instead of scavenging for food and returning outside. Ants, particularly carpenter ants, may build a permanent nest behind walls, near door frames, under windowsills, inside cabinets and behind appliances. Interior infestations are a more serious problem than exterior because of the structural damage the ants cause by burrowing in the wood to build their nest. As long as there is a sustained food source and the queen is thriving, the ants will continue to multiply throughout the house.

I guess he doesn't clean as thoroughly as he thinks he does.

Thanks, captain obvious.

"How come you don't have any pets?", they ask me. And I never know where to begin...

I would call a pest control company to come in and take a look at the situation and get rid of them

You need to call a pest control company. PCO Orkin solved the ant problem in our previous house. Call them and get it dealt with professionally, you won't regret it.

I used a powder from home depot, it comes in a plastic container and you sprinkle the powder along the baseboards,etc. Its non toxic to all pets, and it work great.

Get that household parameter defense bug killer stuff from home depot. Spray it around your baseboards, and they’ll be gone in a day or two. In the spring spray it around the foundation, and between the cracks of your deck if you have one.

Chinese Insect chalk will permanently remedy this issue. Also effective on unwanted pets, wildlife and small children.

Check your foundation to see if you have cracks. This is where they might be getting in.

usually seeing ants is more of an LSD side-effect
