I don't normally mind having ants in the garden, but
this year there seem to be 10 times more thn normal!
The garden is swarming with them.

'Swarming' is a precise word and ants don't swarm.


OED definition of "swarm"

Large number or dense group of insects, birds,small animals, persons, etc--
moving about in a cluster or irregular body especially, around prey or
enemy; in pl: great numbers of children, stars,people,bills(?) etc. cluster
of honeybees emigrating from hive with queen bee to establish new home etc,
etc, any large number of things. alt swarm, to climb rapidly .

Looks like ants to me!
