Best way to get professional pest control done on a townhouse to get rid of ants?

I live in a multi-level townhouse. I've had a pest control company come out and all they did was spray the baseboards in all the rooms. The ants returned in less than a month.
This question has to do with pest control technique, not how to hire a pest control professional.

In my experience, you can spray and spray all you want, but, eventually, the ants will be back. Not always, but most of the time. And the pest control companies LOVE this, because it means they get to come back too!

If you REALLY want to solve the problem, you must find the source of the ants. Once you find the source, which will be their nest, you must eradicate the source. There are several pesticides on the market that will handle this.

Yes, this can take some effort, and is time consuming, but it really is the best way to solve your ant problem. Can you find a pest control company that will do this? Probably, but it will cost you, one, because of the time involved, and two, because it cuts into their business to eliminate the problem. As I implied earlier, if they eliminate the problem, there's no reason for them to come back, which means less money for them.
