This might be what we call "crazy ants". Every year at about this time, they invade my house. At that time, I have to put cat food on card tables away from furniture. The ants have a hard time finding the food.

I've tried "moat bowls", but the water in the moats gets really nasty because my cats drop food into the water as they eat. It keeps the ants away from their food, though.
