Atco Ant Removal Specialists

We Know New Jersey Ants Inside Out

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant infestations throughout South Jersey for years. We understand how carpenter ants exploit the moisture issues common in our area’s older homes, and we know exactly where pavement ants typically enter properties in neighborhoods like yours.

Every technician on our team can identify ant species on sight and knows which treatment approach works best for each type. We’re not a national chain following generic protocols – we’re local professionals who’ve seen every type of ant problem Atco homeowners face.

Ant Control Process Atco

Here's How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your entire property to identify the ant species, locate their entry points, and find their nests. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we check basements, crawl spaces, around foundations, and anywhere ants might be establishing colonies.

Next, we treat the source. While you might only see ants in your kitchen, the real problem is usually the colony hidden in your walls, under your deck, or in rotting wood somewhere on your property. We eliminate the entire colony using targeted treatments that the worker ants carry back to the nest.

Finally, we seal entry points and address the conditions that attracted ants to begin with. This might mean caulking gaps around windows, addressing moisture issues, or removing food sources. You get a comprehensive solution, not just a temporary fix.

Carpenter Ant Control Atco

What's Included in Our Ant Control Service

You get a complete property inspection that identifies not just where ants are now, but where they’re likely to show up next. We check for the moisture problems and structural issues that attract carpenter ants to South Jersey homes, especially older properties common in Atco.

Our treatment targets the specific ant species in your home. Carpenter ants need different approaches than pavement ants or odorous house ants. We use the right baits, treatments, and exclusion methods for whatever species has invaded your space.

Every service includes follow-up visits to make sure the treatment worked completely. Ant problems can take time to resolve fully as worker ants carry treatments back to hidden colonies. We stay involved until your ant problem is completely eliminated, not just reduced.

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

Most ant problems are resolved within 2-4 weeks, but carpenter ant infestations can take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first week as our treatments reach the colony. However, you might still see some ants for 2-3 weeks as worker ants continue carrying treated baits back to the nest. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure complete elimination. The timeline depends on the species, colony size, and how long the infestation has been established.

Can you tell me what type of ants I have without seeing them?

We need to see the ants to make a proper identification, but you can give us helpful clues over the phone. Carpenter ants are large and black, often seen near windows or in basements. Pavement ants are small and brown, typically entering through foundation cracks. Odorous house ants smell like rotten coconut when crushed and are attracted to sweet foods. The size, color, location, and behavior all help us prepare for the inspection, but we always confirm the species on-site because treatment methods vary significantly between different types of ants.

Are your ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use treatment methods specifically chosen for homes with families. Our baits are placed in tamper-resistant stations that children and pets can’t access. When we apply treatments to cracks and crevices, we use products that dry quickly and pose minimal risk once dry. We’ll explain exactly what we’re using and any precautions you should take, though most treatments require little to no restriction on normal household activities. We avoid broadcast spraying whenever possible, focusing instead on targeted treatments that are both more effective and safer for your family.

Why do I keep seeing ants even after other pest control treatments?

Most ant treatments only kill the ants you can see, not the colony hidden in your walls or yard. If the queen and nest aren’t eliminated, new worker ants keep appearing. Many companies also use generic treatments that don’t target the specific ant species in your home. Carpenter ants need different baits than pavement ants, for example. Additionally, if the conditions that attracted ants aren’t addressed – like moisture problems or entry points – new colonies can establish themselves. We focus on complete colony elimination and prevention, which is why our treatments provide lasting results.

How much does professional ant control cost in Atco?

Ant control costs depend on the species, size of infestation, and complexity of your property. A straightforward pavement ant problem costs less than a carpenter ant infestation that requires structural assessment and exclusion work. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start treatment. Most homeowners find professional treatment costs less than the ongoing expense of DIY products that don’t work, plus you avoid the potential structural damage that untreated carpenter ants can cause. We’ll give you a clear quote with no surprise charges.

Do you guarantee your ant control treatments will work?

We stand behind our ant control services with follow-up visits included in every treatment plan. If ants return within our service period, we come back at no additional charge to address the problem. However, we’re honest about what guarantees can and can’t cover. New ant colonies can establish themselves if conditions on your property change, or if new entry points develop. Our guarantee covers the specific infestation we treat, and we’ll work with you to address any ongoing issues. Most customers find our thorough approach eliminates their ant problems completely, but we’re committed to your satisfaction throughout the process.
