The woman, whose username is @astoldbynonto, expressed her fear and disgust in the video caption.
"I'd rather sweat do death than open the windows in Limpopo," she wrote.
Flying ants are attracted to light and moisture, Plant Natural explains. This is why they are often seen swarming around windows and doors. They may also be attracted to the scent of food or other organic matter inside the house.
According to National Geographic Kids, for a swarm of ants to occur, conditions must be just right – they're usually triggered by hot and humid weather.
