Ants can get in from anywhere and they are insane-tenacious. I have had some bad ant experiences. One word: RAID.

They came in downstairs. Someone is taking food upstairs is why it looks like they came from upstairs.
If you look along the baseboards in the kitchen, you will find where they are coming from (probably outside). If you DON'T carry food all over the house, they don't have anything to eat and will go away. Now you may have to call in an exterminator.

Tell your roomie to go outside and watch the ants climb up a tree or the outside of the house.
Of course they can go from downstairs to upstairs. If they can climb a tree with the rough bark they can certainly climb up a wall with relatively smooth texture.

you'll favor an exterminator to discover the source,on the exterior, once you've a crawl area less than the abode that's the most in all probability spot, if no longer, there'll be a source around the abode someplace. They bypass up plumbing, through the walls, may even are available at shops. etc. Insist on the most respected ant killer treatment. We had it finished at the moment cost of 100.00--besides the undeniable fact that it solved the priority. They devour or get the pesticide on them and carry it decrease back to the source which contaminates the herd. good success. they're a mess.

My suggestion is to move. They've probably created a nest the size of Rhode Island behind the walls and will infiltrate your confines until you leave. Soon you will have ants in your bed, clothes, etc. Then you'll be so frustrated that you will end up jumping off the rooftop to a timely death. Who really wants that hanging over their head...:)
Ps..I'm just kidding...Have a nice day!

Ants will go anywhere where there is food (or traces of food laying around). If you see a line of ants, then follow that line to the food source. If you see just traces of ants, then kill it and don't get overly alarmed.

Ants are an oddity and travel wherever they smell an attractive odor. Whether it's food, soda, tea coffee, and even water. Just pour plain cinnamon in the inside perimeter of your cabinets, or fresh or used coffee.

They would have had to come from the downstairs first to get to the upstairs. Chances are they are in the walls.

Only if they have an elevator.....
Seriously, they can climb upstairs on the outside make their way in and then go where ever the hell they please. You need to get ant bait from your local pesticide supplier. Hurry
