Finally, we seal entry points and provide prevention recommendations to keep new ants from moving in. We also schedule follow-up visits to ensure the treatment worked completely and address any remaining activity.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 1-2 weeks of treatment, but this depends on the species and severity of the problem. Carpenter ants often take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. Pavement ants and odorous house ants typically respond faster to treatment. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed. The key is targeting the entire colony, not just the worker ants you see, which is why professional treatment is more effective than DIY sprays that only kill surface ants.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are specifically chosen for their effectiveness against ants while maintaining safety around families and pets. Our technicians are trained in proper application techniques that minimize exposure while maximizing results. We place baits and treatments in areas where children and pets can’t access them, and we provide clear instructions about any temporary precautions you should take. Most treatments allow normal household activities to resume within a few hours. We always discuss safety considerations during our inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, but they don’t reach the colony where the queen and thousands of other ants live. When you kill worker ants, the colony simply sends out more workers to replace them. Professional ant control targets the entire colony with baits that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and the source of the problem. We also identify and seal entry points that ants use to get into your home, which surface sprays can’t address. This is why professional treatment provides lasting results while DIY methods only offer temporary relief.
Ant control costs vary based on the species involved, the size of the infestation, and the treatment required. Carpenter ant elimination typically costs more than treating pavement ants because carpenter ant colonies are larger and more complex to eliminate. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what the service will cost before we begin treatment. Most homeowners find professional treatment more cost-effective than repeatedly buying store-bought products that don’t solve the problem. When you factor in the time, frustration, and potential structural damage from untreated carpenter ants, professional service provides better value.
The most common ants we treat in Berlin are carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants. Carpenter ants are the most concerning because they tunnel through wooden structures and can cause expensive damage if left untreated. Pavement ants typically enter through cracks in foundations and are attracted to food in kitchens. Odorous house ants get their name from the smell they produce when crushed and often nest in wall voids. Each species requires different treatment approaches, which is why proper identification during our inspection is so important for effective elimination.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control work with follow-up service to ensure complete elimination. If ants return within the guaranteed period, we’ll come back and retreat at no additional charge. The specific guarantee terms depend on the ant species and treatment method used, which we’ll explain clearly before beginning service. Our goal is complete elimination, not just temporary reduction, so we include whatever follow-up treatments are necessary to achieve lasting results. We’ve been serving Berlin, NJ long enough to know that our reputation depends on solving ant problems completely, not just collecting payment for partial solutions.
