Someone showed me pictures of a major renovation that included top of the line professional grade appliances. Back like 15 years ago when SS appliances just caught on. Within the first few months his mother did this, but 50x worse to the big stainless steel refrigerator. He showed me pictures. It was ruined.

Get advion gel for ants. Put it around the area where the ants are. Let them eat it and bring it to the nest. If you find any nests around that area outside. Put it near them, too. When it’s not going to rain. Find any source of moisture/water. Eliminate it. Within 1-2 years, the ants are gone.

I paid an exterminator $450 to put the gel down. They told me to buy it on Amazon and do it myself. Best $450 I ever spent. Ants were gone forever. In less than 2 years. Cost $35 for 4 tubes on Amazon. Barely used 1/2 of one tube. Ants Gone.

For me, it was the bathroom window leaking water to outside. Once that was cured. With a shade to keep water off the window. The advion killed the ants.

Can’t help you with anything else.

You have to remove the wall (at least until you find the end of the mold). Remediate the mold. And fix the leak. PITA to do. Probably want a contractor to ensure the leak is properly repaired.

Had a similar issue while renovating, when I first moved into my house. The contractor took care of it for no extra charge.
