Valid point, exterminator didn't see them first time.
AND in alabama you expect me to believe the ants marched all the way to the 12th floor without finding any other poor people to visit
11 floors with zero poors? Haha ok...

Terro traps like someone else said, can get at home depot or other stores and is cheap. I had same problem, put traps down, took about 1 day and they were all gone. They eat and bring the poison back to queen or nest and they move on.
The traps are nice design where you cut end and they can climb in but can put on counter and liquid inside does not get out.

Good. It is similar to Tempo in that it is a pyrethroid. It contains the same active ingredient, Bifenthrin, as Ortho Home Defense like you see at Wally world or lowes etc just in a much higher concentration.
Bifenthrin has the longest residual time of any insecticide on the market which is the biggest reason it is so popular for mosquito control. Mosquitos have 4 distinct stages in their life cycle and it is nearly impossible to (safely anyway) target all stages at once. So, Talstar targets the adults in the treated area and stays there long enough to kill the next wave that hatches out.
It's good shite but it depends on what the surroundings are. If you live in the city it would be fine but if you are rural or around water, there are better options. If I knew more abt the area you are trying to rid of them I could tell you what to do
