Alluvium Ant Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ants

We’ve been protecting Alluvium homes from ant infestations for years. We understand how New Jersey’s humid summers and mild winters create perfect conditions for carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants.

Our technicians know the difference between a minor nuisance and a serious structural threat. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners wait too long or rely on DIY solutions that only make the problem worse.

When you call us, you’re getting local expertise that understands exactly which ant species you’re dealing with and how to eliminate them for good.

Our Ant Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to identify the ant species, locate entry points, and find the actual nests. Most companies just spray where you see ants – we find where they’re coming from.

Next, we treat the source. That means targeting the colony, not just the workers you see marching across your counter. We use professional-grade treatments that eliminate the queen and destroy the entire nest structure.

Finally, we seal entry points and create protective barriers around your home. You get a detailed report explaining what we found, what we treated, and what you can expect moving forward. Most customers see complete elimination within 7-14 days, and we guarantee our work.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

What's Included in Your Service

Every ant control service includes a comprehensive property inspection, species identification, and customized treatment plan. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches because carpenter ants require completely different strategies than pavement ants or odorous house ants.

You get professional-grade treatments applied directly to nest sites, entry points, and high-activity areas. We use products that are effective against ants but safe around your family and pets when applied correctly.

We also provide exclusion services – sealing cracks, gaps, and other entry points that ants use to access your home. This prevents future infestations and saves you money on repeat treatments. Every service comes with a detailed report and follow-up plan to ensure the problem stays solved.

How long does it take to completely eliminate an ant problem?

Most ant infestations are completely eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but it takes time for the treatment to reach the entire colony. Carpenter ant infestations can take slightly longer because their nests are often located in wall voids or structural wood. We provide follow-up treatments if you continue seeing ant activity after two weeks, which is included in our service guarantee.
Yes, we use professional-grade products that are highly effective against ants but designed to be safe around families when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained in proper application techniques and will explain any temporary precautions you need to take. Most treatments require keeping children and pets away from treated areas for 2-4 hours while products dry. We also offer eco-friendly treatment options for families who prefer natural approaches, though these may require additional applications to achieve the same results.
Store-bought ant sprays only kill the worker ants you see, not the colony or queen. When you spray visible ants, the colony often responds by creating new trails and sending out more workers. Some sprays actually cause colonies to split, making your problem worse. Professional ant control targets the source – the nest and queen – which eliminates the entire colony. We also identify and seal the entry points ants use to access your home, preventing new colonies from moving in.
Carpenter ants are larger than most other ant species – typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch long – and are usually black or dark brown. You’ll often see them near windows, doors, or areas with moisture damage. The biggest clue is finding small piles of wood shavings (called frass) near baseboards or window sills. If you hear rustling sounds in walls, especially at night, that’s often carpenter ants moving through their tunnels. Regular house ants are much smaller and typically focus on food sources rather than wood. Our inspection can definitively identify the species and assess any structural damage.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control work. If you continue seeing ant activity 14 days after treatment, we’ll return for additional treatments at no charge. Our guarantee covers the specific areas we treated and the ant species we targeted. We also provide guidance on preventing future infestations and will honor our guarantee as long as you follow our recommended prevention steps. For customers who want ongoing protection, we offer quarterly maintenance plans that include regular inspections and treatments to prevent new ant problems.
Ants are attracted to three main things: food, water, and shelter. Even tiny crumbs or sticky spots can attract scout ants who leave scent trails for others to follow. Moisture from leaky pipes, pet water bowls, or humid areas like basements create ideal conditions. Ants also seek shelter in wall voids, under flooring, or in mulch beds close to your foundation. In New Jersey, seasonal changes drive ants indoors as they search for consistent food and water sources. Our treatment addresses all these factors – eliminating current colonies, removing attractants, and sealing access points to prevent future invasions.
