We Know New Jersey Ants

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been solving ant problems for Blackwood families who are tired of DIY treatments that don’t work. We’re licensed in New Jersey and understand exactly which ant species are invading your home.

Carpenter ants love the wooded areas around Blackwood, and they’re not just looking for food – they’re looking for a place to build their colony. We’ve seen the damage they cause when homeowners wait too long or try to handle it themselves.

You’re dealing with local professionals who show up when we say we will and explain exactly what we’re doing. No surprises, no runaround.

Our Ant Control Process

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting sites. Different ants require different approaches, and we’re not guessing. Carpenter ants nest in wood, while other species might be coming from outside colonies.

We treat the source, not just the symptoms. That means targeting the colony with professional-grade materials that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and larvae. Surface sprays from the hardware store can’t do this.

You’ll see results within days, but we monitor the situation to make sure the colony is completely eliminated. If ants return during our guarantee period, we return too – at no extra cost.

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

Most ant problems are eliminated within 7-14 days of initial treatment, but it depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants typically take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. You’ll start seeing fewer ants within 2-3 days as the treatment reaches the colony. We schedule follow-up visits 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 targeted application methods that minimize exposure to your family and pets. Our treatments are applied in specific areas where ants travel and nest, not broadcast throughout your home. We use EPA-approved materials and follow strict safety protocols. Most treatments require keeping pets and children away from treated areas for 2-4 hours until surfaces dry. We always explain safety precautions before starting work and can schedule treatments when your family is away if you prefer. Your safety is our priority.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see, not the colony producing them. When you spray visible ants, you’re eliminating maybe 10% of the actual problem. The queen and thousands of other ants remain in the nest, continuing to reproduce. Professional ant control uses baiting systems and targeted treatments that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the source. We also identify and seal entry points that DIY treatments miss. That’s why our treatments last while surface sprays provide only temporary relief.
Ant control costs vary based on the species, infestation size, and treatment complexity. Basic ant treatments typically range from $150-300, while carpenter ant problems requiring structural inspection and specialized treatment cost more. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Consider that carpenter ants can cause thousands in structural damage if left untreated, making professional treatment a smart investment. We offer service guarantees, so you’re not paying repeatedly for the same problem.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black, and nest inside wood structures where they can cause damage. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate galleries that weaken structural elements. Regular house ants are smaller, usually looking for food, and nest outside or in wall voids. Carpenter ants often indicate moisture problems since they prefer damp wood. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or in basements, you likely have carpenter ants. Professional identification is important because treatment methods differ significantly between species.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control treatments. If ants return during the guarantee period, we return to retreat at no additional cost. Guarantee terms vary by service type – typically 30-90 days depending on the species and treatment method. Our guarantee covers the same ant species we originally treated. We stand behind our work because we use proven methods and professional-grade materials. This guarantee is part of choosing professional service over DIY attempts. We want you completely satisfied with the results, not dealing with the same problem repeatedly.
