Our Ant Elimination Process

Here's How We End Ant Problems

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting sites. Carpenter ants leave different signs than other species, and the treatment approach changes based on what we find.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that reach the colony source. This isn’t about spraying visible ants – it’s about eliminating the queen and destroying the nest so they can’t rebuild elsewhere.

We also seal entry points and remove attractants that brought them to your home initially. Then we schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the colony is completely eliminated and apply additional treatment if needed.

You’ll know exactly what we found, what we treated, and what to expect moving forward. No surprises, no recurring problems.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

What's Included in Your Service

Your ant control service includes a thorough property inspection, species identification, and targeted colony elimination. We use EPA-approved treatments that are safe around your family and pets but lethal to ant colonies.

We seal cracks, crevices, and other entry points ants use to access your home. You’ll also receive specific recommendations for preventing future infestations, including moisture control tips that are especially important in New Jersey’s humid climate.

Every service comes with a guarantee and follow-up visit. If ants return within our guarantee period, we return at no additional cost. Most Candlewyck customers see complete elimination after the first treatment, but we stand behind our work regardless.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment. You might see increased ant activity for the first few days as worker ants carry the treatment back to the colony – this is actually a good sign that the process is working. Carpenter ants typically take slightly longer to eliminate completely because their colonies are larger and more established. We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the colony is gone and apply additional treatment if any activity remains.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are specifically chosen for their effectiveness against ants while remaining safe around families. Most treatments are applied in areas where children and pets don’t typically access, like wall voids and exterior perimeters. When interior treatment is necessary, we use products that dry quickly and pose no risk once dry. We’ll explain exactly what we’re applying and any precautions to take, though most customers can remain in their homes during and immediately after treatment.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and they excavate wood to create their nests – which means they can damage your home’s structure. You’ll often find small piles of sawdust near their activity areas. Regular house ants are smaller and primarily interested in food sources, not wood. Carpenter ants are more serious because they can cause expensive structural damage if left untreated. They’re also harder to eliminate because their colonies are larger and more established, often extending into wall voids and structural wood.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see – usually just worker ants foraging for food. The colony, including the queen and thousands of other ants, remains safely hidden in walls, under foundations, or outside your property. As long as the colony survives, they’ll keep sending out new workers to replace the ones you killed. Professional ant control targets the entire colony using treatments that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the source rather than just the symptoms.
Ant control costs vary based on the severity of the infestation, the species involved, and the size of your property. Most residential ant control services in Candlewyck range from $150-$400 for initial treatment. Carpenter ant elimination typically costs more because it requires more extensive treatment and follow-up. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your property – no surprises or hidden fees. Many customers find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective DIY products, and it actually solves the problem permanently.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control work. If ants return within our guarantee period, we’ll return to retreat your property at no additional cost. The guarantee length depends on the species and treatment type, but most residential ant control comes with at least a 30-day guarantee. For carpenter ants and more extensive treatments, guarantees may extend longer. We stand behind our work because we use proven methods that eliminate colonies completely, not just temporarily suppress them.
