Tried adding pics but the rules won't allow me 🥲 Howdy Everyone, I'm posting on here hoping to get some help. Background: My wife and I bought this home about 3 years ago with signs of potential termite treatment( burrowed holes 1ft apart the whole house). We live in a plant hardiness zone 10a? I googled it. We didn't see it as an issue since there was no sign of existent pests or insects. The house was left abandoned for several years though with overgrown grass. The neighbors would take turns cutting the grass since it's a community and thus house was not being kept up. Anyways, we buy it and within a year, we see small ants crawling around the house. We didn't see it as a problem since there weren't that many and it's honestly quote normal to just see a couple of an wondering around. A year later, around spring season, in a couple walls from a room, we see a discharge of trash come out of the bottom from between the walls. It had dirt, dead ants and wings seems to be carpenter ants. Immediately we call a couple of exterminators and they both concluded it was carpenter ants. Ok fine, we went with orkin services which sold us a contract to treat inside and outside. A year goes by and we are still sewing these ants crawling up the house from outside and the discharge every now and then. After constant contacts with Orkin and them coming to treat them we didn't see any progress with them. We decided to not renew our contract. We called and they insisted on sending out a tech to check out the issue. The guy gave me a rundown that it is definelty a carpenter ant and that they need to treat specifically for that..which I though that's what they had been doing. Apparently he said that we had just been getting the common pest control plan. WHAT?!?! The issue is not common pest but a pest specifically!! I got mad, they tried to sell me more services and then a perimeter cleanse and what not. He kept insisiting on selling me the 10k services. Kicked him out the house respectfully and blocked their number. Present: Which leads me to now. I'm now trying to treat the ants myself and bought these terro ant bait stakes, terro liquid ant baits for indoor, and the Terro ant killer shaker bag I've had these for about 3 weeks now and the ant seem to be eating it but there are still so many ants coming into the home. I see them going into the stakes and piling it up with dirt as if they were closing these baits off. Smart Mfkrs lol Anvone have anv more ideas on what I could do? I also tried plugging up the holes but they just creat new ones lol
