Ant Removal Process

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their colonies. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we’re looking for entry points, moisture sources, and the trails that lead back to their nests.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, not just the worker ants you see. Different ant species require different approaches, and we use the right method for your specific situation.

Finally, we seal entry points and provide prevention recommendations so you don’t end up with the same problem again. Most ant control failures happen because companies only treat the symptoms, not the source.

Carpenter Ant Control Specialists

What's Included in Our Service

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies not just where ants are now, but where they’re likely to return. We check moisture levels, structural vulnerabilities, and outdoor conditions that attract ants to your property.

Our treatment targets the entire colony using methods that are safe around your family and pets. We’re not just spraying chemicals everywhere – we’re using precision applications that eliminate ants without creating health risks for you.

Every service includes follow-up monitoring because ant control isn’t a one-and-done situation. We make sure the treatment worked and address any new activity before it becomes a full infestation again.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but you’ll typically see a significant reduction in activity within the first few days. Carpenter ants can take slightly longer because their colonies are often larger and more established. The key is that we’re targeting the queen and the entire colony structure, not just the worker ants you see. Some ant activity immediately after treatment is normal – it means the bait is working and being carried back to the colony. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure complete elimination.

Are your ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are specifically chosen for their safety profile around families. Most of our applications are targeted baits and gels placed in areas where children and pets don’t have access. When we do use sprays, we’ll discuss any temporary precautions with you beforehand. We avoid broadcast spraying whenever possible, focusing instead on precision applications that eliminate ants without creating unnecessary exposure risks. Many of our treatments are actually safer than the over-the-counter products homeowners typically try first.

Why do store-bought ant baits and sprays fail to work?

Most store-bought products only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. Sprays can actually make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and relocate. Generic baits often use attractants that don’t appeal to the specific ant species in your home. Professional treatments are formulated to be carried back to the colony, eliminating the queen and reproductive ants that keep the infestation going. We also identify and treat multiple colonies if present, while most homeowners only treat the obvious activity areas.

How can I tell if I have carpenter ants versus regular ants?

Carpenter ants are significantly larger than most other ant species – usually 6-13mm long and typically black or dark brown. You’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near areas where they’re active, and you might hear rustling sounds inside walls or wooden structures. They prefer moist, damaged wood and are most active at night. Regular house ants are much smaller and are usually looking for food sources rather than nesting in your home’s structure. If you’re seeing large, dark ants near wooden areas of your home, especially if there’s any moisture damage, you likely have carpenter ants and should get professional treatment quickly.

Will the ants come back after treatment?

When done correctly, professional ant control eliminates the existing colonies permanently. However, new ants can always move in from outside if conditions are right. That’s why our service includes identifying and addressing the conditions that attracted ants initially – moisture problems, entry points, and food sources. We also provide prevention recommendations and follow-up monitoring to catch any new activity early. Most of our customers don’t see ant problems return, but if they do, it’s typically a new colony rather than the same one we treated.

How much does professional ant control cost compared to DIY methods?

Professional ant control typically costs between $150-400 for most residential properties, depending on the severity and type of infestation. While this seems more expensive than store-bought products, most homeowners spend $50-100 on various DIY attempts that don’t work, then still need professional help. If you’re dealing with carpenter ants, the cost of professional treatment is minimal compared to potential structural damage, which can run into thousands of dollars. Our service includes inspection, treatment, follow-up, and prevention – everything needed to actually solve the problem rather than just temporarily reduce it.
