Default Fogger in the attic - is that OK?

I have a problem with ants coming from the attic, it seems they are coming

I am going to spray Termidor outside the wall to stop further intrusion, but
was wondering about the population up in the attic, can I get one of those

and throw it into the attic? I am concerned with the fumes coming through
the ceiling at spots that are not sealed such as ceiling lights, AC vents
covers, attic hatches etc...those are closed off but not air tight...just
not sure if there should be big concerns. The instructions say you can air
it out two hours later if applied to a room, but for an attic it has to
naturally air out via the vents.

Thanks,

What kind of vents do you have in the attic? Can you put a mount a
fan, like a window fan, near one or more vents to exhaust the air?

Open the windows in any rooms that the fog may have seeped into, turn
on the fans, and let the air flow clear the air.
