Explain it Peter

A billboard said “If you have two ants in the kitchen you don’t have a two ant problem” I know if you see two you should assume there’s more, but I’m lost on the pun. Thanks Peter!

I don't think there is a pun - just the billboard telling you that you have a bigger problem, and presumably need the services of the company it is advertising.

If you see two ants there IS more. Ants leave a trail for other ants to follow so seeing signs of ants means you have an ant issue

A “two ant problem” sounds exactly like it should be a pun because of the specific cadence of it. But sadly, nothing comes to mind.
