We Know New Jersey Ants

We’ve been handling ant problems throughout Brooklawn and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how New Jersey’s climate creates perfect conditions for carpenter ants, pavement ants, and other species that invade local homes.

We’re licensed, insured, and focused on one thing: getting rid of your ant problem for good. No overselling, no unnecessary treatments, just effective ant control that works.

Our team knows the difference between a minor ant issue and a serious infestation that could damage your property. That knowledge makes all the difference in choosing the right treatment.

Ant Control Process Brooklawn

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate entry points. Different ants require different approaches, and we need to know exactly what we’re dealing with.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that reach the entire colony, including the queen. Surface sprays only kill worker ants, which is why your previous attempts probably failed.

Finally, we seal entry points and apply preventative treatments around your property’s perimeter. This creates a barrier that stops new ants from establishing colonies near your home.

You’ll see results within days, and we back our work with a warranty because we’re confident in our methods.

Carpenter Ant Treatment Brooklawn

What's Included in Our Service

Every ant control service includes a thorough property inspection to identify all problem areas. We don’t just treat the obvious spots—we find where ants are actually entering and nesting.

You get targeted treatments designed for your specific ant species. Carpenter ants need different handling than pavement ants or odorous house ants, and generic treatments often fail because they don’t account for these differences.

We also provide prevention recommendations specific to your Brooklawn property. This might include moisture control advice, landscaping adjustments, or structural repairs that eliminate conditions ants love.

All treatments come with our service warranty, so if ants return within the coverage period, we return at no additional cost to address the problem.

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

Complete carpenter ant elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the size of the colony and how established they are in your structure. You’ll notice significantly fewer ants within the first few days, but it takes time for the treatment to reach the entire colony, including the queen. Carpenter ants are particularly challenging because they nest inside wood structures, making them harder to reach than surface-dwelling species. We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the colony is completely eliminated and monitor for any remaining activity.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Our methods focus on targeted application in areas where children and pets don’t typically access, such as wall voids and exterior perimeters. We always discuss any specific safety concerns during our initial inspection and can adjust our approach if you have particular sensitivities. Most treatments require only brief restricted access to treated areas, and we provide clear instructions about any temporary precautions needed after application.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, but they don’t reach the colony or the queen. When worker ants don’t return to the nest, the colony simply sends out more workers to replace them. Professional ant control uses specialized baits and treatments that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the entire population including the reproductive ants. Additionally, we identify and treat the actual nest locations, not just the trails you see in your kitchen or bathroom.
Carpenter ants are significantly larger than most other ant species, typically black or dark brown, and often appear in your home during evening hours. You might hear faint rustling sounds in walls or see small piles of wood shavings near baseboards or window frames. Regular ants like pavement ants are much smaller and usually appear in steady trails leading to food sources. Carpenter ants don’t actually eat wood—they excavate it to create nesting galleries, which is why they cause structural damage. If you’re seeing large, dark ants especially near areas with moisture issues, carpenter ants are likely.
Ants are primarily attracted to food sources, water, and shelter. Even tiny crumbs or spills can draw them in, and once they establish a trail, more ants follow. Moisture problems like leaky pipes, poor drainage, or high humidity create ideal conditions, especially for carpenter ants. Pet food left out overnight, sticky residue on counters, or unsealed food containers all serve as ant magnets. Outside your home, things like mulch against your foundation, overgrown vegetation, or standing water near your house can encourage ants to explore your property and eventually find their way inside.
Yes, we back our ant control service with a warranty that covers the specific areas we’ve treated. If ants return to those treated areas within the warranty period, we’ll return to address the problem at no additional cost. The warranty terms depend on the type of treatment and the severity of the original infestation, which we’ll explain clearly before starting any work. This warranty reflects our confidence in our methods and our commitment to solving your ant problem completely, not just temporarily reducing the population you can see.
