We Know New Jersey Ants

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant problems for Delair and South Jersey homeowners who are tired of half-measures. We’re licensed, insured, and focused on one thing: getting results that last.

We’ve seen every type of ant issue this area throws at us. Carpenter ants chewing through deck supports. Pavement ants taking over driveways and finding their way inside. Pharaoh ants that seem impossible to eliminate because they keep splitting their colonies.

You’re not getting a corporate call center or a different technician every visit. You’re getting local professionals who understand how New Jersey’s climate and housing styles create ant problems – and exactly how to solve them.

Ant Removal Process Delair

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species, locate entry points, and find the colony source. Most companies skip this step and just spray what they see. We don’t work that way.

Next, we apply targeted treatments based on what type of ants you’re dealing with. Carpenter ants need different approaches than pavement ants or pharaoh ants. We use the most effective method for your specific situation, with options that are safe around kids and pets.

Finally, we set up prevention barriers and give you a clear plan to keep them from coming back. We’ll schedule a follow-up inspection to make sure the treatment worked completely. If ants return during our warranty period, we come back at no charge.

What's Included In Your Treatment

You get a thorough property inspection, species identification, and customized treatment plan. We treat both indoor and outdoor areas where ants are active, plus the trails and entry points they’re using to get inside.

We also handle the moisture issues and attractants that drew them to your property in the first place. That might mean sealing cracks, addressing drainage problems, or removing food sources they’re targeting.

Every treatment comes with follow-up service and a warranty. We explain exactly what we’re doing and why, so you understand the process. No surprises, no upselling, no wondering if the problem is actually solved.

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

Most ant problems are controlled within 7-14 days, but complete elimination depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants typically take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. Pavement ants usually respond faster to treatment. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the inspection based on what we’re dealing with. The key is treating the colony source, not just the ants you see, which is why our approach takes a bit more time but delivers lasting results.
Yes, we offer several pet and child-safe treatment options. We use targeted baits and treatments that are applied in areas where kids and pets don’t have access. Many of our treatments use the ants’ own biology against them – they carry the treatment back to the colony, eliminating the source without broad chemical application. We’ll discuss the safest approach for your specific situation during the inspection and make sure you’re comfortable with the treatment plan before we start.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see, but they don’t affect the colony that’s sending them. When you spray a trail, you might eliminate those workers, but the colony just sends more. Worse, some sprays actually cause certain ant species to split their colonies, making the problem bigger. Professional ant control targets the colony source and the queen, which stops the cycle completely. We also identify and eliminate what’s attracting them to your property in the first place.
Carpenter ants are larger than most other species – usually about half an inch long – and are typically black or dark red. You’ll often see sawdust-like debris near where they’re active because they excavate wood to build their nests. They’re most active at night and prefer moist, damaged wood. Regular pavement ants are much smaller and usually brown, and they don’t damage wood structures. If you’re seeing large, dark ants near windows, doors, or anywhere there’s wood and moisture, you likely have carpenter ants and should get professional help quickly.
Yes, we warranty our ant control treatments. If ants return during the warranty period, we come back at no additional charge to retreat the area. The warranty length depends on the treatment type and ant species, but we stand behind our work. We’re not interested in quick fixes that fail in a few weeks – we want to solve your ant problem permanently. That’s why we focus on colony elimination and prevention, not just temporary knockdown of visible ants.
We’re local professionals who focus specifically on getting results, not signing long-term contracts. You’ll work with the same technicians who know your property and your specific ant problem. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches or try to upsell you on services you don’t need. Our treatments are customized for New Jersey ant species and the specific conditions at your property. You get direct access to the people doing the work, faster response times, and service that’s focused on solving your problem rather than maximizing recurring revenue.
