Your Home, Ant-Free Again

You shouldn’t have to live with ant trails across your counters or worry about carpenter ants chewing through your home’s structure. When we finish an ant control job, you get your space back without the constant battle of spraying and respraying.

Our treatments eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you see. That means no more surprise invasions next week or next month. You’ll actually be able to leave food out without creating an ant highway, and guests won’t spot those embarrassing trails marching across your kitchen.

The difference is simple: we find where they’re coming from and cut off the source. Most homeowners waste months fighting the same ants because they’re only treating the symptoms.

Ant Removal Process Andrews

Here's How We Eliminate Ants

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting areas. Different ants require different approaches, so this step determines everything that follows.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the colony at its source. We don’t just spray visible ants – we use methods that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and the entire population.

Finally, we seal entry points and apply preventive barriers to stop future invasions. You’ll get specific recommendations for keeping ants out long-term, plus our guarantee that covers any breakthrough activity.

Most jobs are completed in one visit, though severe carpenter ant infestations may require a follow-up treatment to ensure complete elimination.

Carpenter Ant Control Andrews

What's Included In Treatment

Your ant control service includes complete property inspection, species identification, and customized treatment application. We handle everything from common pavement ants to destructive carpenter ants that can damage your home’s wooden structures.

Andrews homes often deal with carpenter ants because of the area’s moisture levels and older wooden construction. These aren’t just nuisance pests – they actually excavate galleries in wood, which can weaken structural elements over time. Our treatments specifically target carpenter ant colonies before they cause expensive damage.

You’ll receive detailed documentation of what we found, what we treated, and what to expect moving forward. We also provide specific prevention recommendations based on your property’s unique risk factors.

All treatments use family and pet-safe methods that won’t put your household at risk while eliminating the ant problem effectively.

How long does it take for ant control treatment to work?

Most ant activity stops within 24-48 hours after treatment, but complete colony elimination can take 7-14 days. You might see increased ant activity initially as worker ants carry the treatment back to the nest – this is actually a good sign that the treatment is working. The queen and entire colony are eliminated during this process, which is why it takes longer than just killing visible ants. We recommend waiting the full two weeks before evaluating results, as rushing to retreat can actually interfere with the colony elimination process.

Are ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use treatment methods specifically chosen for their safety around families and pets. Most of our ant control products have the same active ingredients found in common household items, just in more effective formulations. We apply treatments in targeted areas where ants travel, not in open spaces where children and pets spend time. You can typically return to treated areas within a few hours, and we’ll give you specific guidelines based on the products used in your home. Our goal is eliminating ants without creating any risk to your household.

What's the difference between carpenter ants and regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger, usually black, and actually damage wood by excavating galleries for their nests. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood – they just hollow it out, which can still cause structural problems over time. Regular ants like pavement ants or sugar ants are smaller and mainly just forage for food without damaging your home. Carpenter ants are more serious because they indicate moisture problems and can weaken wooden structures. They’re also harder to eliminate because their colonies are often located inside wall voids or other hidden areas. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows or doors, carpenter ants are likely and need professional treatment.

Why do ants keep coming back after store-bought treatments?

Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see, not the colony producing them. Ant colonies can have thousands of members and multiple queens, so killing a few dozen foraging ants barely makes a dent in the population. Professional treatments work differently – they eliminate the entire colony at its source. We also identify and seal the entry points ants are using, while most homeowners just spray wherever they see ant activity. Without addressing the root cause, you’re essentially playing whack-a-mole with an endless supply of ants. That’s why professional ant control typically solves the problem permanently while DIY treatments become a monthly chore.

How much does professional ant control cost in Andrews?

Ant control pricing depends on the severity of the infestation, the ant species involved, and the size of your property. Most residential ant treatments in Andrews range from basic service calls for minor problems to more comprehensive treatments for established carpenter ant colonies. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation – no surprises or hidden fees. Many homeowners find that professional treatment actually costs less than months of buying ineffective store-bought products, especially when you factor in the time and frustration saved. We also guarantee our work, so you’re not paying repeatedly for the same problem.

When is the best time to treat for ants in New Jersey?

Ant activity in New Jersey typically peaks from spring through early fall, but treatment timing depends on the species and severity of your problem. Carpenter ants are often most active in late spring and early summer, while other species may be problematic throughout the warm months. The best time to treat is as soon as you notice consistent ant activity – waiting usually means the problem gets worse and harder to eliminate. Winter treatments are still effective for indoor infestations, and early spring treatment can prevent seasonal invasions before they establish. If you’re seeing ants regularly, don’t wait for a “better” time – immediate treatment prevents the colony from growing larger and more difficult to eliminate.
