Odorous House Ants infestation help

Found odorous house ants crawling from a nest in the corner of the room. I looked up on the void injection method but the raid max spray isn‘t sold in my country.

I also have some following questions below and hope someone can answer them:

  1. For the pesticide used, can I use any pesticide that is also a repellent? I’ve also read that if strong pesticides/repellents/baits like Terro are used on odorous ants, it will cause the nest to bud. In this case, if I use a pesticide for void injection and not all the ants and queens are killed, does this mean that the nest will start budding just like if Terro is used?

  2. Can I use Alpine WSG for void injection instead of a pesticide that kills the ants instantly? (for point 1)

  3. Instead of drilling a hole into the wall myself, can I just inject the straw into the opening of the nest where the ants crawl out from? I’m renting the apartment thus unable to drill holes into the walls.

Thank you so much to anyone willing to help!
