Red ants in the apartment

Hello! Please help me. Now I'll tell you my story.
In 2014, in my one-room apartment, I found a flock of red ants. They were crawling around in the kitchen. I didn't pay much attention to it then. After a while, I noticed that they began to spread. Kitchen, toilet, bathroom, then bedroom.
At that time, I worked around the clock, often traveling on business trips. And when I was home, I poisoned them as much as I could. Insect repellent sprays, boric acid, and various gels. The ants disappeared in one place and reappeared in another. They ended up crawling everywhere. On the walls, in bed, in things, in the kettle. I won't say I'm dirty. I do not leave dishes for the night, I wash the floor once a day. I take out the trash every day. I've read all about them in two years. I tried different methods of fighting, but it was useless. The ants disappeared and reappeared.
In 2016, we bought a new one-bedroom apartment. When moving, they took only their personal belongings with them. All furniture and bulky appliances were left in the old apartment, as it was planned to be rented out. And so.. When moving, they carefully examined all things, shoes, books, etc., so as not to transport ants to a new apartment. After moving in, I called the exterminator and he killed the ants in odnushke. And after a couple of weeks, the ants spread out in the new apartment! Okay.. we stayed with my mother for a while, and the exterminator also killed ants in the new apartment. This was in the summer of 2016. And until now, we have lived happily without these reptiles.
When moving, we put some unnecessary things in the inter-storey storage room. They weren't poisoned there. And a couple of days ago, my husband decided to make shelves in the pantry and temporarily moved all the things from the pantry to the balcony. And, a couple of days later, I found ants in the toilet! And today they are already crawling in the bathroom!
Dear friends, I have described everything in detail, so that you can answer my question. How is it?? How is this possible? Did they survive in the storeroom, and it's cold in there? and crawled into the bathroom? But our toilet is located far from the balcony. Please help me!!! Explain the logic of these reptiles. I plan to call the exterminator again in the near future. But what if they appear again in a year?
I'm just thinking.. Why me? Am I really worse at cleaning than a 70-year-old grandmother-neighbor, or a widowed grandfather-neighbor in the vestibule?
I'm sorry, I can't write beautifully. It's just a cry of the soul!!!

In odnushke, I watched, after bullying, in the toilet they fell out from under the curtain ceiling. And there was one that looked like a uterus.
