Professional Ant Exterminator Services

Your Kitchen Stays Ant-Free

You’ll stop finding ants marching across your counters every morning. No more throwing away contaminated food or feeling embarrassed when guests come over.

The real difference is that we eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you see. Most treatments only kill the workers, leaving the queen and thousands of eggs untouched underground.

We identify exactly which species you’re dealing with because carpenter ants need different treatment than pavement ants or pharaoh ants. Then we seal the entry points they’re using to get inside, so you’re not dealing with this problem again next month.

Local Deer Park Pest Control

We Know New Jersey Ants

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant problems in Deer Park and surrounding areas for years. We understand how New Jersey’s climate and housing conditions create perfect environments for different ant species.

Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained specifically on the ant species common to this area. We’ve seen every type of infestation, from carpenter ants in older homes to pharaoh ants in apartment complexes.

You’re working with professionals who live and work in this community. We’re not a national chain sending different technicians each time.

Ant Removal Process

Here's How We Eliminate 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 treat the colony at its source, not just the trails you see. This means targeting the queen and the nest, usually located outside your home in soil, mulch, or structural voids.

Finally, we seal the cracks, gaps, and other entry points ants use to get inside. We also remove attractants and apply barrier treatments to prevent new colonies from establishing nearby.

You’ll see results within 24-48 hours, and we schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the colony is completely eliminated.

Comprehensive Ant Treatment Services

What's Included in Your Service

Every ant control service includes species identification, colony location, targeted treatment, and entry point sealing. We don’t just spray and leave.

You’ll receive a detailed explanation of which ant species we found, where they’re nesting, and what attracted them to your property. This helps you understand the problem and prevent future issues.

Our treatments are safe for your family and pets, but lethal to ant colonies. We use EPA-approved products applied by licensed technicians who know exactly how much to use and where to apply it.

All work comes with a service guarantee. If ants return within the warranty period, we come back at no charge to retreat the area.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment. You’ll notice fewer ants within 24-48 hours, but it takes time for the treatment to reach the queen and destroy the entire colony. Carpenter ant colonies can take slightly longer because they’re often located in wall voids or structural wood. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and retreat if necessary. The key is patience – rushing the process with repeated spraying actually makes the problem worse by causing colonies to split.

Are your ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are safe when applied correctly by licensed professionals. Most treatments are applied in cracks, crevices, and outdoor areas where children and pets don’t have direct contact. Indoor treatments typically involve gel baits placed in areas inaccessible to kids and pets. We always explain any precautions you need to take, like keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry. Our technicians are trained in safe application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ant colonies.

Why do store-bought ant sprays not work for long-term control?

Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, not the colony producing them. The queen can lay thousands of eggs, so killing a few dozen workers barely impacts the population. Worse, spraying can cause colonies to split and relocate, creating multiple smaller infestations. Professional treatments target the entire colony using baits that workers carry back to the nest, eventually reaching the queen. We also identify and seal entry points, something impossible to achieve with retail sprays. That’s why DIY treatments seem to work initially but fail within weeks.

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

Carpenter ants are larger, usually black, and damage wood structures by hollowing out galleries for nesting. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they weaken structural elements over time. Regular house ants like pavement ants are smaller and primarily seek food sources. Carpenter ants indicate moisture problems since they prefer damp, rotting wood. Treatment approaches differ significantly – carpenter ants require structural inspection and moisture control, while pavement ants need food source elimination and exterior perimeter treatment. Misidentifying the species leads to ineffective treatment and wasted money.

How much does professional ant control cost in Deer Park?

Ant control costs depend on the species, colony size, and property layout. Most residential treatments range from $150-$400 for initial service. Carpenter ant treatment costs more than pavement ant treatment because it requires structural inspection and moisture remediation. We provide upfront pricing after inspection – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many customers find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective store products. Our treatments include guarantees and follow-up visits, so you’re not paying again if ants return during the warranty period.

When is the best time of year for ant control treatment?

Spring and early summer are ideal for ant control because colonies are most active and vulnerable. This is when queens are laying eggs and workers are foraging heavily for food. However, we treat ant problems year-round since indoor infestations don’t follow seasonal patterns. Fall treatments can be very effective because ants are preparing for winter and readily take baits back to nests. Winter treatments work for indoor infestations but outdoor colony treatments are less effective in freezing temperatures. The best time is as soon as you notice ant activity – waiting allows colonies to grow larger and harder to eliminate.
