We probably have nest behind cabinet because found unopened small bag of dog food there with ants in it. Cabinet right next to dog bowl on floor.Think it had a small tear or something didn't notice when we bought It. We sprayed and exterminator is coming tomorrow.
I'll put dry dog food bag in fridge or freezer next time we leave.
Thanks again for helpful advice!

I once bought a bag of dry cat food at a (very) discount store. When I poured some out into their bowl, a ton of live black ants came out with it. Out went the bag and food in the bowl. I wondered how long that bag of food had been sitting in some warehouse.
We've not had ants in our house here (yet), but I am very careful with the dog food and keep it sealed in tupperware-type containers. And the bird seed gets frozen for three days when we get it home from the store, as this once gave us a moth infestation in Michigan.
