Ants

Seems this year we are being attacked by black ants...some sort of carpenter ants. Have been using Terro baits plus AMDRO around the perimeter of the house. Even used a few spots of AMDRO grains in the house as well. Seems the ants are avoiding the AMDRO and some but not all are hitting the Terro liquid baits. Any thoughts, as the Mrs. is going nuts. This is the first year we have had such a large volume all at once. I have looked for moisture in wood boards, but nothing found. I imagine the exterminators are very busy and probably would only treat outside anyway with COVID. I could probably buy the same stuff at the hardware store, but I need to get this invasion dead ASAP !!! Is this the year for ants? HELP !!!
