The Ant Man is Coming!!!!

We have been fighting these boogers for weeks on weeks now.  We've tried spraying inside and outside the perimeter of the house (at least 6 times), Tory has put out ant pellets in the yard and around the house (at least twice), he has sprayed bug spray throughout the entire yard, we have four ant hotels in our kitchen, and I bleach the kitchen counters every night making sure there are not any dirty dishes left out.  You would think that if one of those poisons didn't kill them that a combination of them would.  Nope, they are resilient!  So we have finally come down to calling in the professionals.  We hate to do it, don't want to have to spend the money for it...but we are going crazy.  No lie, I think they have multiplied in the last couple of days...there can be about 50 of them on the counter, we clean them all off, and within 20 minutes there are 50 more.  Craziness!!  Oh, and you know what the ant lady said on the phone?  "Don't smash them or spray them because they let off a smell that causes more of them to come."  Aaaahhhh!!!  Can I make it 24 hours letting them live!!??
