Professional Ant Removal Downs Farms

Your Home, Ant-Free and Protected

You’ll walk into your kitchen without spotting ant trails across your counters. Your pantry stays clean and contamination-free. Most importantly, you won’t worry about carpenter ants silently damaging your home’s structure.

That peace of mind comes from complete colony elimination, not just treating what you see. When we finish, the ants are gone—and they stay gone. You get back to enjoying your home instead of constantly battling the same pest problem over and over.

The difference is in our approach. We don’t just spray and hope. We locate the source, eliminate the entire colony, and set up prevention barriers that keep new ants from moving in.

We Know New Jersey Ants

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been protecting Downs Farms homes from ant infestations for years. We understand how New Jersey’s climate creates perfect conditions for carpenter ants and other species that damage homes.

Our technicians know the difference between a minor ant problem and a serious infestation that threatens your property. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners wait too long or rely on ineffective DIY treatments.

Every treatment we provide is backed by proper licensing, insurance, and our commitment to getting results the first time. Your neighbors trust us because we deliver what we promise—complete ant elimination and real protection for your home.

Ant Exterminator Process Downs Farms

Complete Elimination, Not Quick Fixes

We start with a thorough inspection of your property, inside and out. This reveals where ants are entering, where they’re nesting, and what’s attracting them to your home. Most ant problems have multiple entry points that homeowners never notice.

Next, we target the entire colony with professional-grade treatments that reach the source. Surface sprays only kill the ants you see—we eliminate the queen and the nest. This is especially critical with carpenter ants that can cause serious structural damage.

Finally, we establish prevention barriers and provide you with specific recommendations to keep ants from returning. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and when to call us if you spot any new activity. Most of our customers never see ants again after our initial treatment.

Carpenter Ant Control Downs Farms

What You Get With Our Service

Your ant control service includes complete property inspection, targeted colony elimination, and ongoing prevention. We identify all ant species present because different ants require different treatment approaches. Carpenter ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants all behave differently.

You receive detailed documentation of what we found, what we treated, and what you can expect moving forward. We use EPA-approved products that are effective against ants but safe around your family and pets. No guesswork, no generic treatments.

We also provide follow-up service if needed. Ant problems in Downs Farms can be stubborn, especially with established carpenter ant colonies. If you see any ant activity after our treatment, we return to address it. Your investment is protected until the problem is completely resolved.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 1-2 weeks of our initial treatment, but carpenter ant colonies can take up to 30 days for complete elimination. The timeline depends on the size of the colony and how long they’ve been established in your home. You’ll typically see a dramatic reduction in ant activity within the first few days, with complete elimination following as the treatment reaches the entire colony. We provide follow-up service if you notice any continued activity after our initial treatment period.

What's the difference between DIY ant control and professional treatment?

DIY products only kill the ants you see, leaving the colony intact to keep producing more ants. Professional treatment targets the entire colony, including the queen and nest, which is the only way to achieve permanent elimination. We also have access to professional-grade products that are more effective than store-bought options. Additionally, we can properly identify ant species—carpenter ants require completely different treatment than pavement ants or pharaoh ants. Most homeowners waste months and hundreds of dollars on ineffective DIY treatments before calling professionals.

Are your ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are specifically designed to be effective against ants while remaining safe around families and pets when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained in proper application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness. We can also discuss additional precautions if you have specific concerns about young children, pregnant family members, or pets with health conditions. The products we use are actually safer than many store-bought ant sprays that homeowners commonly use indoors.

How do I know if I have carpenter ants or regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger than most other ant species, typically black or dark brown, and you’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near where they’re active. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate it to create nests, which can cause structural damage over time. You might also hear rustling sounds inside walls where they’re active. Regular ants are usually smaller and more focused on finding food sources. If you’re seeing large, dark ants near wooden structures or finding wood debris, you likely have carpenter ants and need immediate professional treatment to prevent property damage.

What attracts ants to my home and how can I prevent them?

Ants are attracted to food sources, moisture, and shelter. Common attractants include pet food left out, crumbs, sticky spills, leaky pipes, and entry points like cracks around windows or doors. Carpenter ants are specifically attracted to moisture-damaged wood, which is why they often target areas around leaky roofs, windows, or plumbing. Prevention involves eliminating food sources, fixing moisture problems, and sealing entry points. However, once ants have established a colony in or near your home, prevention alone won’t eliminate them—you need professional treatment to remove the existing colony first.

Do you guarantee your ant control service will work?

Yes, we stand behind our ant control treatments. If you continue to see ant activity after our initial treatment period, we return to address the problem at no additional charge. Our guarantee covers the specific areas we treated and the ant species we targeted. Most customers see complete elimination after our first treatment, but established carpenter ant colonies sometimes require follow-up service. We’ll work with you until the ant problem is completely resolved. The only way we can’t guarantee results is if new conditions arise that attract different ant colonies to your property after our treatment.
