Ant Control Process Deerwoods

Simple Process, Lasting Results

First, we identify the ant species and locate their nests and entry points around your property. Different ants require different approaches, so proper identification is critical for effective treatment.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, not just worker ants. We use professional-grade materials that reach the queen and breeding ants that store-bought products can’t touch.

Finally, we seal entry points and provide prevention recommendations to keep ants from returning. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we did and what to expect over the following weeks as the treatment takes full effect.

How long does it take for ant control treatment to work completely?

Most ant activity stops within 48-72 hours after treatment, but complete colony elimination takes 1-2 weeks. You might see increased ant activity initially as worker ants carry treated bait back to the colony – this is actually a good sign that the treatment is working. The queen and reproductive ants die last, which is why complete elimination takes time. We schedule follow-up visits if any activity persists beyond two weeks.
Yes, we use targeted treatments that eliminate carpenter ants without requiring destructive access to wall voids or structural elements. Our approach focuses on locating nest sites through inspection and applying treatments at entry points and foraging trails. We only recommend structural access in severe cases where colonies have caused significant damage that needs repair anyway. Most carpenter ant problems are resolved with exterior perimeter treatments and strategic interior applications.
Our ant control treatments are designed to be safe when applied properly around families and pets. We use targeted bait stations and crack-and-crevice applications that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ants. Most treatments require only brief restrictions – typically keeping children and pets away from treated areas until surfaces dry, usually 2-4 hours. We always explain safety precautions before beginning treatment and provide written guidelines for your specific situation.
Store-bought products typically only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. Retail ant sprays often scatter colonies, making the problem worse by causing ants to establish multiple nesting sites. Consumer baits usually aren’t attractive enough to competing food sources or don’t contain sufficient active ingredients to eliminate large colonies. Professional treatments use commercial-grade materials and application techniques that target the entire colony structure, including the queen and reproductive ants that keep the infestation going.
Ant control costs vary based on the severity of infestation, ant species, and property size, but most residential treatments range from $150-$400 for initial service. Carpenter ant treatments typically cost more than common household ants due to the complexity of locating and treating their nests. We provide upfront pricing with written estimates before beginning work – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many homeowners find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective store products plus potential structural damage repairs.
Early spring (March-May) is ideal for ant control because colonies are actively foraging but haven’t reached peak population yet. However, we provide effective ant control year-round, including emergency services during heavy summer infestations. Fall treatments can be particularly effective for preventing overwintering colonies from establishing in your home. The key is treating as soon as you notice ant activity rather than waiting – early intervention always produces better results and costs less than treating established, large colonies.
