the 5D2 is assumed to be weather sealed. how did the ants get in?

Through the hinge on the battery compartment. They are now throughout the whole camera.

Oh no! Hope they haven't built a nest in there!
Ants are repelled by spices like bay leaves and cloves, so you could try surrounding your 5Dii with those :-\
They also supposed to hate orange peel, and chalk, you could try one or more of these, maybe would slowly drive the ants away. You don't want to do anything that will kill the ants inside your camera. Hope this is helpful.

For sure, if you kill the ants in the camera, you will need to send it to Canon, perhaps best to do that anyhow even if you succeed in sending the ants packing just in case they've done some damage.
