Final answer:

When ants sense their home being destroyed, they communicate through pheromones to find a new home together.

Step-by-step explanation:

When ants sense that their home is being destroyed, they begin to communicate with each other using chemicals called pheromones. These pheromones help ants to mark trails to new food sources, including potential new homes. Ants work together as a team to find a new home by following these chemical trails and communicating with each other. Once the new home is found, the queen and other ants are guided to the location using the same pheromones.
