Ant Control Process Camden

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we identify the ant species you’re dealing with because carpenter ants require different treatment than sugar ants or pavement ants. This isn’t guesswork – proper identification determines everything about how we eliminate them.

Next, we locate the colony and all entry points. Most homeowners only see the ants in their kitchen, but we find where they’re actually coming from and how they’re getting inside. We treat the source, not just the symptoms.

Then we eliminate the entire colony using targeted treatments that are safe around your family and pets but lethal to ants. We also seal entry points and apply barrier treatments to prevent new colonies from moving in.

You’ll see results within days, not weeks. The ant trails stop, the problem ends, and you get back to normal life without constantly checking for ants every time you walk into your kitchen.

Complete Ant Removal Camden

What's Included in Your Service

You get a thorough inspection that identifies the exact ant species and locates all colonies and entry points. This matters because sugar ants, carpenter ants, and pavement ants all require different approaches – and Camden homes deal with all three.

The treatment includes colony elimination using professional-grade materials that actually work, unlike store-bought sprays. We seal cracks, gaps, and other entry points that ants use to get inside. You also get barrier treatment around your home’s perimeter to prevent new infestations.

We handle both indoor and outdoor colonies because eliminating just one leaves the problem half-solved. If you’re dealing with carpenter ants, we’ll show you any structural damage we find and explain what needs attention to prevent future problems.

Everything comes with our service guarantee because we stand behind our work. If ants come back within the warranty period, so do we – at no additional cost.

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

Most ant problems are resolved within 7-14 days of treatment, but you’ll typically see a dramatic reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours. The timeline depends on the ant species and size of the colony. Carpenter ants may take slightly longer because their colonies are larger and more established. Sugar ants and pavement ants usually respond faster. We follow up to ensure complete elimination and will retreat if necessary within our warranty period.
DIY products only kill the ants you can see – they don’t eliminate the colony or queen, so the problem returns. Professional treatment targets the entire colony at its source using materials that aren’t available to consumers. We also identify the specific ant species, which determines the most effective treatment approach. Most importantly, we locate and seal entry points that homeowners miss, preventing new infestations. The upfront cost of professional treatment is usually less than what people spend on multiple DIY attempts.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. We explain any temporary precautions needed during application, but most treatments allow normal household activity within hours. Our approach focuses on targeted application rather than widespread spraying, which minimizes exposure while maximizing effectiveness. We’re always transparent about what we’re using and why, and we’re happy to discuss any specific concerns about family members or pets with health sensitivities.
Prevention starts with eliminating the current colony completely, including the queen. Then we seal entry points like cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, and openings where utilities enter the home. We apply barrier treatments around your home’s perimeter that deter new colonies from establishing nearby. We also provide recommendations for reducing attractants like moisture problems or food sources. Our warranty covers you if ants return, but proper elimination and prevention usually prevent that from happening.
While we can make educated guesses based on your description, proper identification requires seeing the ants in person. Carpenter ants, sugar ants, and pavement ants all behave differently and require different treatment approaches. Size, color, behavior, and location all matter for accurate identification. That’s why we always start with an inspection – it ensures we’re using the right treatment method for your specific ant species and situation, which makes the difference between success and wasted time.
Don’t use store-bought sprays or baits before we arrive – they can actually make our job harder by scattering the colony or making ants avoid our professional baits. You can clean up ant trails with soap and water to remove scent trails, and remove any food sources like crumbs or spills. Try to note where you’re seeing the most ant activity and what time of day it’s heaviest. This information helps us locate colonies faster during our inspection.
