Well I suspect that they may be able to work this one out. However, swarm is a perfectly acceptable collective noun for ant according to English Language (although I agree, it's not the most common).
Humm, I thought the orginal thread was about killing ants.
Indeed. But someone mentioned a figure of speech.

Are the wires going into the wall or coming out of the wall?!
And did they get it fixed?
Probably used an IP56 [1] when it should have been an IP78?
All the best ..

"Someone" seemed confused about what the OP meant by "swarming with" ants.

But much less so than humans.
You really have no feeling at all about causing such cruelty and harm?
Excellent. Someone else who has reservations about harming even such lowly creatures as ants. If more of the world's population cared about it's residents in this way we perhaps wouldn't cause such destruction to the planet.

Dave, what do you think is the most satisfying way to get rid of human pests? You know, those who build their homes where animals have lived for a very long time - before Man had the arrogance to think he had rights over everything else?
