Jessica, Did the pest control company you work with conduct a full inspection of the house and grounds? Sometimes, treating structural members is needed to deal with an infestation. Sometimes subslab treatments. Also, baits are often an option. An inspection is needed to determine the best course of action, which could include correcting any conducive conditions.

This is the first time (in decades) that we've had a swarm. Our exterminator suggests using Phantom insecticide around the exterior perimeter of the historic house vs. using Termidor. Is one preferred over the other? Is Phantom okay to use on the exterior? Any feedback is much appreciated! Thanks!
