We Know New Jersey Ants

We’ve been handling ant problems throughout New Jersey for years. We understand how different ant species behave in our climate and why they keep coming back to certain homes.

We’re licensed, insured, and focused on getting results the first time. No guesswork, no generic treatments that might work.

Ant Control Process Braddock

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points. Different ants require different approaches, so this step determines everything else.

Next, we trace the ant trails back to their source. Surface sprays only kill the ants you see – we target the colony where they’re coming from.

We apply targeted treatments that the worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and the entire colony. Then we seal entry points and create barriers to prevent new colonies from establishing.

Finally, we schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the treatment worked completely. If you see ants again during our guarantee period, we return at no extra cost.

What You Get With Our Service

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies not just where ants are now, but where they’re likely to show up next. We check common problem areas most homeowners miss.

Our treatment targets the specific ant species in your home. Carpenter ants get different treatment than pavement ants or odorous house ants because they behave differently and respond to different baits.

We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand the process. No mystery chemicals or vague promises – just clear information about how we’re solving your ant problem.

You also get our service guarantee and follow-up visit to make sure the ants are actually gone, not just hiding.

How long does it take for ant control treatment to work?

Most ant activity stops within 3-7 days after treatment, but complete colony elimination takes 2-3 weeks. You might see increased ant activity for the first day or two as worker ants take the bait back to the colony – this is normal and means the treatment is working. The ants you see during this period are carrying the treatment to the queen and other colony members. After that initial period, you should notice a significant decrease in ant sightings, with complete elimination typically achieved within three weeks.

Is ant control treatment safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use treatment methods that are safe when applied correctly by licensed professionals. Most treatments are placed in areas where children and pets don’t have access, like inside wall voids or in tamper-resistant bait stations. We explain any temporary precautions you need to take, such as keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry. Our technicians are trained in safe application methods and will discuss any specific concerns you have about your family’s safety before beginning treatment.

Why do ants keep coming back after store-bought treatments?

Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see, not the colony producing them. When you spray visible ants, the colony simply sends out more workers. Professional ant control targets the source – the queen and the nest – which stops the problem at its root. We also identify and seal entry points that ants use to get into your home, something surface sprays can’t address. Additionally, different ant species respond to different treatments, and professional identification ensures we use the most effective approach for your specific ant problem.

What's the difference between carpenter ants and regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger, usually black, and can cause structural damage by excavating wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can weaken structural elements over time. Regular house ants like pavement ants or odorous house ants are smaller and primarily interested in food sources – they don’t damage your home’s structure. Carpenter ants often indicate moisture problems since they prefer damp or damaged wood. The treatment approach differs significantly between these species, which is why proper identification by a professional is important for effective control.

How much does professional ant control cost in Braddock?

Ant control costs depend on the size of your property, the extent of the infestation, and the ant species involved. Most residential ant control treatments range from $150-$400 for initial service. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many homeowners find professional treatment more cost-effective than repeatedly buying store products that don’t solve the problem. We include follow-up visits in our service guarantee, so you’re not paying extra if ants return during the warranty period.

When is the best time to treat for ants?

The best time for ant control is as soon as you notice consistent ant activity, regardless of season. However, spring and early summer treatments are often most effective because that’s when colonies are actively foraging and expanding. Treating during peak activity periods means worker ants are more likely to find and take baits back to the colony. Winter treatments can also be effective for indoor infestations since ants are concentrated in their nests. Don’t wait for the problem to get worse – early intervention typically requires less extensive treatment and achieves faster results.
