It’s all instinctual. They behave in a way that is preprogrammed via genetics and triggered by stimulus or scent pheromones that other ants will release that let the colony know what they should be doing.

One ant sees an intruder and releases a chemical that says “attack! Help! Intruder!” And other ants just respond to the scent.
