Ant infestation

We bought a home about a year ago that is still unlivable to due ants. (We’ve been told their sugar) When we looked at the house there were some active trails in the house but very minimal and the inspectors told us to put some traps out and it wouldn’t be a big deal.

We are here 3-4 days a week working on outside projects. There is 0 food in the house. There are thousands of ants in every single room. We have had an exterminator out a few times a month for a year with literally 0 improvements. The exterminator sprays inside and outside and puts traps out. We have traps surrounding the outside of the house. We have done the Terro traps inside. Nothing is helping. In fact it seems to be getting worse. We were told by the exterminator they are sugar ants. We are a young couple and this is our first home, I am devastated and stating to get really concerned. They are in every drawer, cabinet, on the ceilings and walls, in the beds, sinks and showers, all over the floor of every room. We had the house professionally cleaned after closing.
