Hi,
There is no harm in getting a second opinion form a different exterminator if you haven't already.
You may need to relocate the wood pile. You can check to see if that is a nest source.
Bait traps can work if you notice them coming in at certain entry points and may be worth trying before using an exterminator. You can find them at most home improvement stores or you can find recipes for homemade versions which uses the same ingredients: sugar water and boric acid or Borax powder
We have some information on our Common Ants webpage that may be helpful.
Let us know if you have further questions.
