Outside treatment done as well but yesterday after some new flooring was installed, last night they came out from the baseboards, ceiling and were up the walls. Needless to say, I abandoned ship and went to a hotel. I had Dean's come back to look at the carnage and its "normal here"...can anyone tell me if this is the norm here in the Villages or just in my section?

How anyone can use a kitchen filled with ants everywhere is beyond me but if this is the norm for TV then sadly, this is Not the place for me ;(
Did they come with the new flooring. Neighbors had new floors put in, and they had ants coming from the baseboards also. First time in 11 years.
