Ant Control Process Greenhaven

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify the exact ant species and locate their entry points and nesting areas. Different ants require different approaches – carpenter ants need structural assessment while other species focus on food sources.

Next, we treat the colony at its source using targeted methods that eliminate the entire population, not just the workers you see. We also seal entry points and apply barrier treatments to prevent new invasions.

Finally, we provide you with prevention strategies specific to your property and schedule follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination. You’ll know exactly what to expect at each step, and we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.

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

Most ant problems are controlled within 7-14 days of initial treatment, but complete elimination depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants typically take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. We usually see significant reduction in activity within the first few days, with most ants gone by the second week. Follow-up treatments ensure any remaining ants or new hatchlings are eliminated. The key is patience – rushing the process often leads to incomplete elimination and return infestations.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see – the workers foraging for food. The colony, including the queen and thousands of other ants, remains untouched and keeps producing more workers. Professional treatment targets the entire colony using baits and treatments that workers carry back to eliminate the source. We also identify and seal entry points, something surface sprays can’t do. That’s why DIY treatments seem to work for a day or two, then the ants return in full force.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products specifically chosen for their effectiveness against ants while maintaining safety around families. Most treatments are applied in targeted areas where children and pets don’t typically access, like wall voids and exterior perimeters. We always inform you about any temporary precautions needed and provide clear instructions for keeping your family safe during and after treatment. Our technicians are trained in safe application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ant colonies.
Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common house ants and are usually black or dark brown. You’ll often find small piles of sawdust-like material near wooden structures where they’re excavating galleries. They’re most active at night and prefer moist, damaged wood. Regular ants are smaller, often lighter in color, and typically follow visible trails to food sources. Carpenter ants can cause serious structural damage, so professional identification is crucial. Our inspection determines exactly which species you’re dealing with and the appropriate treatment method.
When done correctly, professional ant control eliminates the colony and provides long-term protection. However, new ant colonies can establish in the area, which is why we include follow-up services and prevention strategies. We seal entry points, eliminate attractants, and create barrier protection to prevent new infestations. Most customers remain ant-free for extended periods after treatment. If ants do return within our guarantee period, we return to address the issue at no additional cost.
Ant control costs vary based on the infestation size, ant species, and property characteristics. Carpenter ant treatments typically cost more due to their complex colony structure and potential structural concerns. We provide upfront pricing after inspection so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees. Most homeowners find professional treatment costs less than the ongoing expense of DIY products that don’t work, plus it prevents costly structural damage from carpenter ants. We offer free estimates and can discuss treatment options that fit your budget.
