Ant Extermination Process

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Carpenter ants need different treatment than pavement ants or odorous house ants – and most homeowners can’t tell the difference.

Next comes a thorough inspection of your property. We find where ants are entering, locate the colony, and identify what’s attracting them to your home in the first place.

Treatment targets the entire colony, not just the ants you see. We use professional-grade materials that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and larvae. Within days, you’ll notice the difference. Follow-up service ensures the problem stays solved.

How long does it take to get rid of carpenter ants completely?

Most carpenter ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of professional treatment. You’ll see fewer ants within the first few days as the treatment reaches the colony. Complete elimination takes longer because the treatment needs time to reach the queen and larvae deep in the nest. Carpenter ants are particularly stubborn because they build extensive galleries in wood, but professional-grade baits and targeted treatments reach areas that store-bought products can’t access.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see – usually just 10-15% of the actual colony. The queen keeps producing new workers, so you’re fighting a losing battle. Professional ant control targets the entire colony structure, including the queen and larvae. We also identify and treat the trails ants use to enter your home, which most homeowners miss. Without eliminating the source and blocking access points, you’ll keep seeing new ants no matter how much you spray.
Yes, professional ant control uses EPA-approved products applied according to strict safety guidelines. Modern ant baits work by allowing worker ants to carry small amounts back to the colony – they’re designed to be attractive to ants but have minimal exposure risk to people and pets. During treatment, you may need to keep children and pets away from specific areas for a few hours, but there’s no need to leave your home. All products and application methods are chosen specifically for safe use in residential environments.
Professional ant control typically costs $150-400 depending on the severity of infestation and size of your property. While this seems higher than store-bought products, most homeowners spend $50-150 on multiple DIY attempts that don’t work. Factor in your time, frustration, and potential carpenter ant damage to your home’s structure, and professional treatment actually saves money. You get guaranteed results instead of playing trial-and-error with products that weren’t designed for complete colony elimination.
Ants enter homes searching for food, water, and shelter. Even tiny crumbs, pet food, or sticky residue on counters create scent trails that attract entire colonies. Moisture problems like leaky pipes, poor drainage, or high humidity also draw ants, especially carpenter ants that prefer damp wood. Entry points include cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, and utility line openings. Professional inspection identifies these attractants and access points so you can address root causes, not just treat symptoms.
Yes, all ant control services come with a guarantee period. If ants return within the warranty timeframe, we return at no additional charge to retreat the area. The guarantee length depends on the treatment type and severity of the original infestation, but typically ranges from 30-90 days. This guarantee only applies when you follow post-treatment recommendations like eliminating food sources and maintaining sanitary conditions. Professional ant control is an investment in results, and the guarantee ensures you get the ant-free home you’re paying for.
