Our Ant Removal Process

Thorough Inspection, Complete Elimination

We start with a comprehensive inspection of your property, identifying ant species, locating nests, and mapping entry points most homeowners miss. This isn’t a quick walk-through – we check basements, crawl spaces, exterior perimeters, and moisture-prone areas where carpenter ants thrive.

Treatment targets the entire colony, not just the ants you see. We use professional-grade materials that eliminate the source while remaining safe around your family and pets. Every crack, crevice, and potential entry point gets attention.

Follow-up ensures the problem stays solved. We return to verify elimination and address any remaining concerns. You get our direct contact information for immediate response if new activity appears, though it rarely does when the job is done right.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

Everything Needed for Total Elimination

Your ant control service includes species identification, complete nest elimination, and entry point sealing. We handle both common household ants and destructive carpenter ants that threaten your home’s structure.

Treatment covers interior and exterior areas, including hard-to-reach spaces like wall voids and subfloor areas where carpenter ants often establish colonies. We use targeted baiting systems that eliminate entire colonies, not just surface activity.

Prevention recommendations help you avoid future infestations. We identify moisture issues, structural vulnerabilities, and landscaping factors that attract ants to your property. You receive a detailed report explaining what we found and what we did to solve it.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 7-14 days of professional treatment. You’ll notice significant reduction in ant activity within the first 48 hours as our baiting systems reach the colony. Carpenter ant infestations may take slightly longer since these colonies are often larger and more established in structural areas. We schedule a follow-up visit to ensure complete elimination and address any remaining activity. The key is targeting the entire colony, not just the ants you see, which is why professional treatment works faster than DIY methods.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Our baiting systems are designed to target ants specifically while minimizing exposure to your family and pets. We place bait stations in strategic locations away from high-traffic areas and use gel baits in cracks and crevices where children and pets can’t access them. During treatment, we provide specific instructions about any temporary precautions, though most of our methods require no evacuation time. Your family’s safety is our top priority in every treatment decision.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and actually damage your home’s structure by excavating wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can weaken beams, joists, and other structural elements over time. Regular household ants are smaller, focus on food sources, and don’t cause structural damage. Carpenter ants often indicate moisture problems since they prefer damp or damaged wood. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or in bathrooms, you likely have carpenter ants that require immediate professional attention.
Store-bought sprays and traps only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. Ant colonies can contain thousands of individuals, and the queen keeps producing more workers to replace those killed by surface treatments. Many retail products actually make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and relocate. Professional treatment uses baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the queen and entire population. We also identify and seal entry points that allow new ants to enter your home, which retail products don’t address.
Ant control costs vary based on the severity of infestation, ant species, and size of your property. Most residential treatments range from $150-$400 for initial service, with carpenter ant infestations typically requiring more extensive treatment. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees after our inspection. Many homeowners find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective retail products, and it saves the potential thousands in structural damage from untreated carpenter ants. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control services with follow-up visits included in your initial treatment cost. If ant activity returns within our guarantee period, we return at no additional charge to address the problem. Our guarantee reflects our confidence in professional-grade treatments and thorough application methods. We also provide ongoing support and advice to help prevent future infestations. Most customers never need to use our guarantee because we eliminate the entire colony and seal entry points, but it’s there for your peace of mind and our commitment to complete customer satisfaction.
