Ant Control Process Echelon

Simple Process, Lasting Results

First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with and locate their entry points and nesting areas. Different ants require different approaches, and we’ve learned that proper identification saves time and guarantees better results.

Next, we treat the colony at its source, not just the ants you see walking around. This means targeting the queen and the nest itself, using professional-grade treatments that aren’t available to consumers.

Finally, we seal entry points and apply preventative treatments to stop new colonies from moving in. We’ll also schedule a follow-up visit to make sure the treatment worked completely and address any remaining activity.

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

Most ant activity stops within 24-48 hours, but complete colony elimination takes 7-14 days. You might see increased ant activity for the first day or two as the treatment spreads through the colony – this is normal and means it’s working. The ants carry the treatment back to the nest, where it eliminates the queen and the entire colony. We schedule follow-up visits around the two-week mark to ensure complete elimination and address any remaining activity.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products specifically chosen for their safety profile around families. The treatments we apply have extremely low toxicity to humans and pets while being highly effective against ants. We apply products in targeted areas where ants travel, not in broad applications across living spaces. Most treatments dry within an hour, after which treated areas are safe for normal family activities. We’ll give you specific instructions about any temporary precautions if needed.
Carpenter ants are larger, usually black or dark brown, and they excavate wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they can cause structural damage by hollowing out wooden beams, especially if moisture is present. Regular house ants are smaller and typically nest in soil or wall voids without damaging wood. Carpenter ants often indicate moisture problems in your home, so we inspect for underlying issues that attract them. The treatment approach is different too – carpenter ant elimination requires targeting their wood galleries, not just surface spraying.
Prevention starts with eliminating what attracts them and blocking how they get inside. We seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundation areas where ants typically enter. We also apply barrier treatments around your home’s perimeter that deter new colonies from establishing nearby. Inside, we identify and eliminate food sources and moisture issues that attract ants. Most importantly, we target the entire existing colony so there’s no established population to rebuild from. Our treatments include a warranty period, so if ants return, we address it at no additional cost.
Treatment costs depend on the severity of the infestation, the ant species involved, and the size of the affected area. Most residential ant control services range from $150-$400 for initial treatment with follow-up included. Carpenter ant treatments typically cost more due to the complexity of locating and treating wood galleries. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Many homeowners find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying store products that don’t solve the problem.
Yes, we offer quarterly pest control services that include ant prevention along with treatment for other common pests. These ongoing services maintain barrier treatments around your property and catch new ant activity before it becomes a major problem. Quarterly service typically costs less per visit than one-time treatments and gives you year-round protection. Many of our Echelon customers prefer ongoing service because it provides peace of mind and often prevents the larger infestations that require more extensive treatment. We can customize the service frequency based on your property’s specific needs and your budget.
