Hello, sorry to hear about Bentley. Its unusual for ants to be around the area, I would actually be more concerned that what you are seeing in the area are fleas. They may look similar to ants. Fleas can indeed causes severe anxiety and itchiness which can also alter Bentley's attitude and temperament. Make sure that Bentley has adequate monthly flea control and see if this resolves his issues. Otherwise, if you are convinced that ants are bothering him, you may need to call pest control to have your home treated. Hope this helps and best of luck.
