How Ant Control Works

Complete Ant Colony Elimination Process

We start with a thorough inspection of your property. This means identifying the ant species, locating entry points, and finding the colony source. Different ants require different approaches, so proper identification matters.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that reach the colony, not just the worker ants you see. Surface sprays might kill visible ants, but they don’t eliminate the queen or the thousands of ants you don’t see. Our approach gets to the root of the problem.

We also seal entry points and eliminate attractants that drew ants to your home initially. This prevents new colonies from establishing after treatment. You’ll get specific recommendations for keeping your property less attractive to future ant invasions.

Follow-up visits ensure the treatment worked completely. If ants return during the warranty period, we come back at no additional charge.

Carpenter Ant Control Greentree

What's Included in Professional Treatment

You get a comprehensive property inspection that identifies all ant activity areas and potential entry points. We don’t just treat where you’ve seen ants – we find where they’re actually coming from.

Our treatment targets the specific ant species in your home. Carpenter ants need different handling than pavement ants or odorous house ants. Generic treatments often fail because they’re not species-specific.

We use professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. These treatments are more effective and longer-lasting than store-bought options. They’re also applied safely around your family and pets.

You’ll receive prevention recommendations specific to your property. This includes moisture control advice, landscaping suggestions, and maintenance tips that make your home less attractive to ants long-term.

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

Most ant problems are eliminated within 1-2 weeks of initial treatment, but this depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants can take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days, with complete elimination following as the treatment reaches the entire colony. We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the problem is completely resolved and provide additional treatment if needed during the warranty period.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, not the colony producing them. The queen and thousands of other ants remain hidden in wall voids, under foundations, or in outdoor nests. When worker ants don’t return, the colony simply sends out more. Professional treatment uses baits and targeted applications that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the source. Without addressing the colony, you’re just treating symptoms, not the actual problem.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products applied according to strict safety protocols. Most treatments involve targeted baits and applications in areas where children and pets don’t have access. We explain any temporary precautions needed during treatment, such as keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry. Our integrated pest management approach prioritizes safety while ensuring effective ant elimination. We can also discuss organic or reduced-risk options if you have specific concerns about chemical sensitivity.
Carpenter ants are larger than most other ants, typically black or dark brown, and often seen near wood structures. You might find small piles of sawdust-like material called frass near baseboards or window sills where they’ve been excavating wood. They’re most active at night and prefer moist areas. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood – they hollow it out for nesting. If you’re seeing large ants near wooden structures or finding wood shavings, carpenter ants are likely. Professional identification is important because treatment methods vary significantly between ant species.
Ants are attracted by food sources, moisture, and shelter opportunities. Common attractants include pet food left out, crumbs, sticky spills, and accessible garbage. Moisture from leaky pipes, poor drainage, or high humidity also draws them in. Entry points like cracks in foundations, gaps around windows, or spaces where utilities enter your home provide access routes. Outdoor factors like overgrown vegetation touching your house or mulch placed too close to the foundation create highways for ant movement. Eliminating these attractants is key to long-term prevention.
Yes, we provide a service warranty on our ant control treatments. If ants return during the warranty period, we’ll come back and retreat at no additional charge. The warranty length depends on the treatment type and ant species involved. Our goal is complete elimination, not temporary reduction. We stand behind our work because we use professional-grade products and proven treatment methods. However, warranty coverage requires following our prevention recommendations, such as eliminating food sources and maintaining proper sanitation practices that prevent new infestations.
