Ant Control Process Haddon Leigh

We Find and Eliminate the Source

Our inspection starts outside your home. Most ant problems begin with colonies in your yard, under walkways, or near your foundation. Our technician identifies these source points and traces ant trails to understand how they’re entering your house.

Inside, we locate feeding areas and nesting sites. Carpenter ants often hide in wall voids, behind appliances, or in damp areas like basements. Our inspection reveals these hidden locations that DIY treatments miss completely.

Treatment targets both the ants you see and the colonies you don’t. Baiting systems eliminate entire colonies including queens and larvae. Barrier treatments prevent new ants from entering. Our approach varies based on ant species because carpenter ants require different methods than pavement ants or sugar ants.

Follow-up visits ensure the treatment worked. Most ant problems resolve within two weeks, but some situations need additional attention. Our technician returns to check progress and apply additional treatment if needed.

Comprehensive Ant Pest Control

Complete Ant Problem Solutions

Our service includes thorough interior and exterior inspection, identifying all ant species present and their nesting locations. You receive targeted treatment for each type of ant problem, whether dealing with carpenter ants damaging wood structures or sugar ants invading your kitchen.

Treatment uses professional-grade baits and barriers unavailable to consumers. These products eliminate entire colonies rather than just killing visible ants. Our technician applies treatments strategically based on ant behavior patterns and your home’s specific layout.

You get detailed recommendations for preventing future ant problems. This includes identifying moisture issues that attract carpenter ants, sealing common entry points, and modifying landscaping that creates ant highways to your house. Our goal is solving your current problem and preventing new infestations.

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

Most ant infestations resolve within 7-14 days after treatment begins. Carpenter ants typically take longer than sugar ants because their colonies are larger and more established. You’ll notice fewer ants within the first few days, but complete elimination requires time for baited ants to return to their colonies and share the treatment with other colony members. Some situations require follow-up treatments, especially if multiple colonies are present or if the infestation is severe.
Yes, our treatments use EPA-approved products applied according to strict safety guidelines. Bait stations are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets, and barrier treatments dry quickly to minimize exposure risks. Most products target ant biology specifically and pose minimal risk to mammals when applied correctly. Our technician explains any temporary precautions needed, such as keeping pets away from treated areas until products dry, typically within 30-60 minutes.
Consumer sprays only kill the ants you see, not the colonies producing them. When you spray ant trails, you’re eliminating worker ants but leaving queens, larvae, and the rest of the colony untouched. The colony simply sends out new workers to replace the ones you killed. Professional treatments use baiting systems that worker ants carry back to their colonies, eliminating the entire population including reproductive ants. This approach targets the source rather than just the symptoms.
Carpenter ants are larger than most other ant species, typically black or dark brown, and often appear near wooden structures. The key identifier is small piles of sawdust near baseboards, window frames, or other wood surfaces where they’re excavating galleries. You might also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls during quiet evening hours when carpenter ants are most active. Other ant species don’t create sawdust piles and are usually smaller. A professional inspection can definitively identify the species and determine the extent of any structural damage.
Ants enter homes seeking food, water, and shelter. Food sources include crumbs, pet food, sugary spills, and even grease residue. Water attracts ants to areas around sinks, leaky pipes, and damp basements. Carpenter ants specifically target moisture-damaged wood, making homes with plumbing leaks or poor ventilation prime targets. Entry points include cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, and utility line penetrations. Landscaping that touches your house creates ant highways, and outdoor colonies naturally expand toward indoor resources.
Our treatment comes with follow-up service to ensure effectiveness. If ants return within the specified timeframe, additional treatment is provided at no extra charge. However, guarantees depend on several factors including the severity of the infestation, environmental conditions, and whether recommended prevention measures are followed. New ant problems from different colonies or species aren’t covered under the original treatment guarantee, but our technician will assess the situation and recommend appropriate solutions. Most customers see complete resolution with the initial treatment protocol.
