I might be missing something obvious. Couldn't the ants have escaped the bunker through the same route the scientists used to enter?

From my understanding they don't know where they're going, they just walk around aimlessly hunting for food and following pheromone tails so it'd be hard to find that one hole in the entire room, especially when it's on the ceiling. There may have also been slime built up around the hole which would make it difficult to traverse even if they did find it. They'd need to survive starvation and cannibalism to find their way out too.
