Erial Pest Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ants

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant problems for Erial homeowners who need results, not repeated visits. We understand how New Jersey’s climate creates perfect conditions for carpenter ants in wooded areas and pavement ants around foundations.

You’re dealing with professionals who can identify the specific ant species in your home and treat accordingly. Carpenter ants need different treatment than sugar ants or pavement ants, and we know the difference.

We’re licensed, insured, and focused on getting your ant problem solved the first time. No guesswork, no generic treatments that might work.

Our Ant Removal Process

Thorough Inspection, Complete Elimination

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting sites. Different ants require different approaches, so proper identification determines everything that follows.

Next, we treat the colony at its source, not just the ants you see walking around. Surface sprays only kill worker ants, but the colony keeps producing more. We target the entire colony structure, including the queen.

Finally, we seal entry points and apply preventive treatments to stop future invasions. You’ll know exactly what we did and what to expect going forward. Most customers see complete elimination within days, and we provide follow-up service if needed.

What You Get With Our Service

Your ant control service includes species identification, colony location and elimination, entry point sealing, and preventive treatment application. We use professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers but are safe around your family and pets.

You’ll receive a detailed explanation of what ant species we found, where they were nesting, and what attracted them to your property. This isn’t just about killing the ants you see today – it’s about understanding why they chose your home and preventing future problems.

Erial’s wooded environment means carpenter ants are especially common, and these can cause serious structural damage if left untreated. We know where to look for signs of carpenter ant activity that homeowners typically miss, like small piles of sawdust or faint rustling sounds in walls.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, depending on the species and colony size. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours. Carpenter ants may take slightly longer because their colonies are larger and more established. We target the entire colony, including the queen, which is why our results last instead of having ants return in a few weeks like you see with over-the-counter sprays.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Our treatments are designed to target ants specifically while minimizing exposure to your family and pets. We’ll explain any precautions you need to take during and after treatment, which are typically minimal. Professional products are much safer and more effective than many store-bought options because we can use targeted application methods that put the product exactly where it needs to be.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black, and cause structural damage by excavating wood to build their nests. You’ll often find small piles of sawdust near wooden structures if carpenter ants are present. Regular house ants (like pavement ants or sugar ants) are smaller and primarily looking for food sources. Carpenter ants are the ones that can cause expensive damage to your home’s structure, while other ants are mainly a nuisance and hygiene concern. Different species require different treatment approaches.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, but they don’t reach the colony or the queen. The colony keeps producing more workers, so you see new ants within days or weeks. Professional treatment targets the entire colony structure, including the queen, which stops the source of the problem. We also identify and treat the specific ant species in your home, since different ants respond to different treatment methods. Generic consumer products use a one-size-fits-all approach that often fails.
Professional ant control typically costs less than multiple rounds of failed DIY attempts when you factor in your time and repeated product purchases. More importantly, carpenter ants can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage if not eliminated properly. Professional treatment solves the problem completely the first time, while DIY methods often require repeated applications that add up quickly. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying for effective, guaranteed results.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control treatments with a service guarantee. If you continue to see ant activity after our treatment period, we’ll return to address the problem at no additional charge. Our guarantee covers the specific ant species we treated during our initial service. We’re confident in our methods because we target the entire colony and use professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. Most customers see complete elimination and don’t need follow-up service.
