Ant Control Process

Here's How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we conduct a thorough property inspection to identify ant species, colony locations, and entry points. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and where the problems are coming from before any treatment begins.

Next comes targeted treatment that reaches the colony source, not just the ants you can see. Our approach varies by ant type—carpenter ants require different methods than pavement ants or odorous house ants.

Finally, we seal entry points and provide prevention recommendations to keep new colonies from establishing. You get a clear explanation of what was done and what to expect moving forward, including any follow-up visits needed to ensure complete elimination.

Complete Ant Extermination Service

What's Included in Ant Control

Every ant control service includes species identification, because different ants require different approaches. Carpenter ants need colony location and structural damage assessment. Sugar ants and pharaoh ants need food source elimination and trail disruption.

You get targeted treatment application using professional-grade products that actually reach ant colonies, plus identification and sealing of entry points around your home’s foundation, windows, and doors.

Our service includes follow-up monitoring to ensure complete colony elimination. If ants return within the guarantee period, additional treatment comes at no extra charge. You also receive prevention recommendations specific to your property and the ant species that were eliminated.

How long does it take to get rid of carpenter ants completely?

Carpenter ant elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks for complete colony destruction. You’ll see immediate reduction in ant activity, but it takes time for the treatment to reach the entire colony including the queen. Carpenter ants are particularly stubborn because their colonies can be large and spread across multiple satellite locations. The timeline depends on colony size, weather conditions, and how established the infestation has become. Most homeowners notice significant improvement within the first week, with complete elimination confirmed by the follow-up inspection.

What's the difference between DIY ant baits and professional treatment?

Store-bought ant baits often fail because they’re designed for general ant problems, not specific species. Professional treatment identifies the exact ant type and uses targeted products that actually appeal to that species. Carpenter ants, for example, prefer protein-based baits while sugar ants need carbohydrate attractants. Professional-grade products also have higher active ingredient concentrations and better transfer rates to eliminate entire colonies. DIY solutions typically kill worker ants but miss the queen and colony source, leading to recurring infestations that waste your time and money.

Are ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, professional ant control uses targeted application methods that minimize exposure to family members and pets. Treatments focus on ant travel routes, entry points, and colony locations rather than broad-spectrum spraying throughout living areas. Most products used are low-toxicity formulations specifically designed for residential use. You’ll receive specific instructions about any temporary precautions needed during treatment, such as keeping pets away from certain areas until products dry. The approach prioritizes safety while maintaining effectiveness against ant colonies.

How do I know if I have carpenter ants or regular ants?

Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common house ants, typically black or dark brown, and often seen near wooden structures. The telltale sign is small piles of sawdust-like material called frass near baseboards, window sills, or wooden beams. You might also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls where they’re excavating wood. Regular sugar ants are much smaller, lighter colored, and primarily found near food sources in kitchens and pantries. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage while sugar ants are mainly a nuisance, so proper identification determines the urgency and treatment approach needed.

Will ants come back after professional treatment?

Proper professional ant control eliminates the existing colony and includes prevention measures to reduce the likelihood of new infestations. However, ants can return if new colonies establish from outside your property or if entry points aren’t maintained. That’s why reputable services include guarantees and follow-up inspections. New ant problems typically result from different colonies rather than the original infestation returning. Regular maintenance like sealing cracks, eliminating moisture sources, and keeping food properly stored significantly reduces the chance of future ant problems.

How much does professional ant control cost compared to DIY methods?

Professional ant control typically costs more upfront than store-bought products, but it’s often more economical long-term because it actually works. DIY methods frequently require multiple product purchases and repeated applications that add up quickly without solving the problem. Professional treatment eliminates colonies completely rather than providing temporary relief. For carpenter ants specifically, professional treatment prevents costly structural damage that can run into thousands of dollars. Most homeowners find that one professional treatment costs less than months of unsuccessful DIY attempts, plus you get guarantees and follow-up service.
