Scott, I am there with you. The same exterminator has been coming here for the past five months and the ants keep coming back. I am extremely clean (vacuum 2-3 times a day, mop twice daily, bleach counters, fridge, appliances daily, etc). I have had the apartment staff and exterminators pop up and they compliment on cleanliness. Ants were here when I got here. I have puchased canS of Raid, bottleS of Windex AND Home Defense - no remedies except ant bites on myself and my children, ants in our food, AND everywhere else around here but outside! I am writing the complex now and requesting pest control services from another vendor. Unlike the mentioned tenants I do not care to break my lease or move out - too much work! I don't even want the money back for the foods and goods I've had to purchase as a result of this. I just want this remedied because no one should have to snatch food from their babies hand because there are ants on it. For the person who said that they are just ants just try to imagine coming home from a long day of work and going to take a shower and getting greeted by clusters of ants on the floor, in the shower, and on the tile. Or laying in bed with your children and seeing ants crawling on them - if not because that's unsanitary, respect that situation as a complete nuisance.
