Our Ant Removal Process

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species, locate entry points, and find the colony source. This isn’t guesswork – different ants require different approaches, and we need to understand exactly what we’re dealing with.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, not just the workers you see. We use professional-grade products that reach the queen and destroy the nest completely.

Finally, we seal entry points and create protective barriers to prevent new colonies from establishing. You’ll get a detailed explanation of what we found, what we treated, and what to expect moving forward. Most customers see immediate results, with complete elimination within days.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

What's Included in Our Service

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies all ant activity, entry points, and potential nesting sites. We don’t just treat the obvious problem areas – we find everything.

Our treatment targets the specific ant species in your home using methods that eliminate entire colonies. Carpenter ants get different treatment than pavement ants or odorous house ants because they behave differently and nest in different locations.

We also provide prevention recommendations specific to your property. This includes sealing obvious entry points, identifying moisture issues that attract ants, and explaining how to avoid future infestations. You’ll understand exactly what was done and why it works.

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

Most ant problems are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but this depends on the species and size of the colony. Carpenter ants typically take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. Pavement ants and odorous house ants usually respond faster. You’ll see immediate reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours as worker ants carry treatment back to the colony. We schedule follow-up visits if needed to ensure complete elimination.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black, and actually damage your home by tunneling through wood to build nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can weaken structural elements over time. Regular house ants like pavement ants or odorous house ants are smaller and primarily looking for food – they’re annoying but don’t damage your property. Carpenter ants require more aggressive treatment because their colonies are bigger and the stakes are higher for your home.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products and application methods designed to be safe around families. Most treatments are applied in areas where children and pets don’t have direct contact, like wall voids, cracks, and exterior perimeters. When interior treatment is necessary, we use targeted applications and provide specific instructions about any temporary precautions. Our goal is eliminating ants without creating risks for your family. We’ll explain exactly what products we’re using and any safety considerations before starting treatment.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see – the workers foraging for food. They don’t reach the colony or the queen, so new workers keep coming. In fact, some sprays can make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and spread to new areas. Professional ant control targets the entire colony with products that workers carry back to the nest, eliminating the source of the problem. That’s why you need professional treatment to get lasting results instead of just temporary relief.
Ant control costs depend on the severity of the infestation, the species involved, and the size of your property. Most residential treatments range from basic service calls for minor problems to more comprehensive treatments for established carpenter ant colonies. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation – no surprises or hidden fees. When you consider the cost of ongoing DIY products that don’t work, plus potential damage from carpenter ants, professional treatment is usually the most cost-effective solution.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control services with a guarantee. If ants return within the warranty period, we’ll come back and retreat at no additional cost. The specific terms depend on the type of treatment and ant species, which we’ll explain clearly before starting work. Our goal is complete elimination, not temporary relief, and we’re committed to making sure you get the results you’re paying for. Most customers never need follow-up service, but we’re there if you do.
