You’ll walk through your kitchen without seeing ant trails on your counters. Your pantry stays clean, your food stays safe, and you stop finding those annoying little invaders marching across your floors.

But here’s what really matters: we eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you can see. That means no more surprise invasions next week or next month.

If you’re dealing with carpenter ants, we stop the structural damage before it gets expensive. These aren’t just nuisance pests—they’re literally eating your house from the inside out. Our ant control process identifies exactly which species you’re facing and targets the source, so you get lasting results instead of temporary relief.

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Carpenter ants need different treatment than sugar ants or pavement ants. Getting this wrong means the treatment fails.

Next, we locate the colony source and all entry points. Most homeowners only see the ants in their kitchen, but the real problem is outside where the colony lives. We trace their trails back to the source.

Then we eliminate the entire colony using targeted treatments that are safe around your family and pets. We’re not just spraying visible ants—we’re destroying the queen and the nest so they can’t rebuild.

Finally, we seal entry points and create barriers to prevent future invasions. You get immediate relief plus long-term protection.

What's Included in Our Ant Control

Your ant control service includes a comprehensive property inspection to identify all problem areas and potential entry points. We don’t just treat the obvious spots—we find where they’re actually getting in.

You get species-specific treatment that targets your exact ant problem. Carpenter ants damaging your deck get different treatment than sugar ants in your kitchen. We use the right approach for lasting results.

We also provide follow-up monitoring to ensure the colony is completely eliminated. Many companies spray once and leave. We verify that our treatment worked and the ants aren’t rebuilding elsewhere on your property.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 1-2 weeks of initial treatment, but carpenter ant colonies can take up to 4 weeks for complete elimination. The timeline depends on colony size and species. You’ll see immediate reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but it takes time for the treatment to reach the queen and destroy the entire nest. We provide follow-up inspections to confirm the colony is gone and monitor for any remaining activity.
Carpenter ants are larger (about ½ inch long) and actually damage your home’s structure by tunneling through wood to build their nests. Regular house ants like sugar ants or pavement ants are smaller and mainly looking for food—they don’t damage your property. Carpenter ants leave behind sawdust-like debris called frass, and you might hear rustling sounds in your walls. They’re much more serious because they can weaken structural elements over time, making professional treatment essential rather than optional.
Yes, we use family-safe treatment methods that pose minimal risk to children and pets when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained in proper application techniques and will advise you on any temporary precautions, like keeping pets away from treated areas until they dry. We offer eco-friendly treatment options for families who prefer natural approaches. The products we use are specifically chosen to be effective against ants while maintaining safety standards for residential use around families.
DIY sprays only kill the ants you can see, but they don’t reach the colony or queen. When you spray visible ants, you’re eliminating maybe 10% of the actual problem. The colony simply sends out more workers to replace the ones you killed. Professional ant control targets the entire colony structure, including the queen, so there’s no source to keep producing new ants. We also identify and seal entry points that DIY treatments miss, preventing new invasions from starting.
Ant control costs vary based on the severity of infestation, ant species, and property size, but most residential treatments range from $150-$400 for initial service. Carpenter ant treatment typically costs more due to the complexity and multiple treatments often required. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Many homeowners find professional treatment actually saves money compared to repeatedly buying DIY products that don’t solve the root problem.
Ant activity peaks in New Jersey from late spring through early fall, typically May through September. Carpenter ants are most active in spring when they’re establishing new colonies. Sugar ants and pavement ants become problematic in summer when they’re most actively foraging for food. However, ants can be active year-round indoors if they’ve established colonies in wall voids or other protected areas. Early spring treatment is often most effective because you can eliminate colonies before they reach peak population and spread throughout your property.
