Ant Control Process Ancora

Simple Process, Lasting Results

We start with a thorough inspection to identify the ant species and locate their colonies. This isn’t a quick walk-through—we need to find where they’re actually coming from, not just where you’re seeing them.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. Surface sprays only kill the workers you see, which is why DIY approaches fail. We go after the source.

Finally, we seal entry points and provide prevention strategies specific to your property. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and how to keep ants from establishing new colonies around your home.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but you’ll typically see a significant reduction in activity within 24-48 hours. The timeline depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants may take slightly longer because their colonies are larger and more established. We monitor progress and adjust treatment if needed to ensure complete elimination. The key is patience—rushing the process with repeated treatments can actually make ants more difficult to eliminate by causing them to split into multiple colonies.

Are your ant control treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes, we use treatment methods that are safe for your family and pets when applied correctly. We focus on targeted baiting systems and low-toxicity products that eliminate ants without creating health risks for your household. During treatment, we’ll provide specific instructions about any temporary precautions, like keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry. Most of our treatments allow normal household activities to resume within a few hours. We always explain what we’re using and why, so you understand exactly what’s being applied in your home.

Why do DIY ant sprays and baits fail to solve the problem?

Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. The queen keeps laying eggs, so new workers replace the ones you killed within days. DIY baits often use the wrong attractant for your specific ant species, so ants ignore them completely. Even worse, spraying can cause colonies to split and relocate, making the problem harder to solve. Professional treatment identifies the species, locates the actual colony, and uses targeted methods that eliminate the source. That’s why our approach works when DIY attempts fail.

How can I tell if I have carpenter ants versus regular ants?

Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common sugar ants—usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch long and black or dark brown. They don’t eat wood, but they excavate it to build nests, leaving behind small piles of sawdust-like debris. You’ll often hear them moving inside walls or wooden structures, especially at night. They prefer moist, damaged wood, so check areas around windows, doors, and anywhere you’ve had water damage. If you see large black ants near wooden structures or find wood shavings, you likely have carpenter ants and need immediate professional treatment to prevent structural damage.

What attracts ants to my house in the first place?

Ants are attracted by food sources, water, and shelter opportunities. Even tiny crumbs, pet food, or sticky residue on counters can draw them in. They also seek moisture from leaky pipes, condensation, or humid areas like basements. Once scout ants find these resources, they leave chemical trails for other ants to follow, which is why you suddenly see lines of ants. Outdoor factors like landscaping that touches your home’s foundation or mulch placed too close to the house also create pathways. Eliminating these attractants is part of our prevention strategy after treatment.

How much does professional ant control cost in Ancora?

Ant control costs vary based on the species, infestation size, and treatment complexity. Simple sugar ant problems typically cost less than carpenter ant infestations that require extensive colony elimination. We provide upfront pricing after inspection—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying DIY products that don’t work, plus you avoid potential structural damage from untreated carpenter ants. We’ll explain exactly what you’re paying for and why each step is necessary for complete elimination.
