We Know New Jersey Ants

We at 86 Pest and Wildlife Removal have been handling ant problems throughout the Golden Triangle for years. We understand how New Jersey’s humid climate and seasonal changes create perfect conditions for ant infestations.

You’re not getting a generic treatment plan. You’re getting targeted solutions based on the specific ant problems that affect Golden Triangle homeowners every season.

Our Ant Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire property to find where ants are entering and nesting. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we check basements, crawl spaces, around foundations, and anywhere moisture creates attractive conditions for ants.

Next, we identify the specific ant species you’re dealing with. Carpenter ants require different treatment than pavement ants or odorous house ants. Getting this right determines whether the treatment actually works.

Then we apply targeted treatments directly to ant colonies and travel routes. We don’t just spray visible areas – we treat the source of the problem so ants stop coming back.

Finally, we seal entry points and give you specific recommendations to prevent future infestations. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and how to keep your home protected long-term.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

What You Get With Our Service

Your ant control service includes a thorough property inspection, species identification, and targeted treatment of all affected areas. We treat both indoor and outdoor colonies to stop ants from migrating between locations.

You’ll receive a detailed report showing where we found ant activity, what species we identified, and exactly what treatments we applied. This documentation helps you understand the scope of the problem and our solution approach.

We also provide follow-up treatments if ants return within our guarantee period. Most ant problems require monitoring over several weeks to ensure complete elimination, and we stay involved until your home is completely ant-free.

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

Most ant infestations require 2-4 weeks for complete elimination, depending on the species and colony size. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days after treatment. However, some ants may continue appearing for 1-2 weeks as they encounter treated areas and carry treatments back to the colony. Carpenter ants often take longer to eliminate completely because their colonies can be large and well-established in wall voids or structural wood. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed.
Yes, we use treatment methods that are safe for families when applied correctly by licensed professionals. Most of our ant control products are applied in targeted locations where children and pets don’t have direct contact – like inside wall voids, along baseboards, or in outdoor bait stations. We always discuss any temporary precautions with you before treatment, such as keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry. Our technicians are trained in safe application methods and use the minimum effective amounts to solve your ant problem while protecting your family’s health.
Store-bought sprays typically only kill the ants you can see, not the entire colony hidden in your walls or yard. When you spray visible ants, the colony simply sends out more workers from their nest. Many retail products also cause ants to scatter and create multiple smaller colonies, making the problem worse. Professional ant control targets the source – we locate and treat the actual nests where queens are producing new ants. We also use specialized baits that worker ants carry back to feed the entire colony, eliminating ants you never see but who are causing the ongoing problem.
Professional ant control typically costs $150-400 for initial treatment, depending on your home’s size and infestation severity. While this seems more expensive than $20-50 in store-bought products, most homeowners spend much more on multiple DIY attempts that don’t work. Professional treatment also prevents costly damage – carpenter ants can cause thousands in structural repairs if left untreated. Our service includes follow-up treatments and guarantees, so you’re not paying repeatedly for the same problem. Most customers find professional treatment actually saves money by solving the problem completely the first time.
Carpenter ants are larger (up to 1/2 inch long) and cause structural damage by excavating wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow out galleries that weaken wooden structures over time. Regular house ants like pavement ants or odorous house ants are smaller and primarily seek food sources – they’re annoying but don’t damage your home’s structure. Carpenter ants are usually black or dark brown and often appear in bathrooms, kitchens, or areas with moisture problems. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or in areas with wood damage, you likely have carpenter ants that require immediate professional treatment.
Early spring through late fall is the most effective time for ant control in New Jersey, when ants are actively foraging and treatments can reach entire colonies. Spring treatment is often most successful because colonies are smaller and haven’t yet established multiple nesting sites. However, we can treat ant problems year-round – even winter infestations indicate a serious problem that needs immediate attention. Indoor ant activity during cold months usually means you have a large, established colony inside your home’s structure. The key is treating ant problems as soon as you notice them, regardless of season, to prevent colonies from growing larger and more difficult to eliminate.
