Ant Removal Process

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we identify the ant species you’re dealing with and locate their entry points and nesting areas. Different ants require different approaches, and carpenter ants especially need targeted treatment to prevent structural damage.

Next, we apply professional-grade treatments that reach the entire colony, not just the ants you see. We use a combination of baiting systems and targeted applications that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and larvae.

Finally, we seal entry points and address the moisture or food sources that attracted ants in the first place. We’ll show you the specific areas we treated and explain what to expect over the following weeks as the colony is eliminated.

Complete Ant Control Solutions

What's Included in Professional Ant Control

Our ant control service includes species identification, colony location, and complete elimination treatment. We don’t just spray visible ants – we target the source of your infestation.

You get detailed inspection of your property to find how ants are getting inside and where they’re nesting. This is especially important with carpenter ants, which often indicate moisture problems that need addressing to prevent future infestations.

We provide follow-up service to ensure the treatment worked and make adjustments if needed. Many Haddon Township homes have unique challenges like mature trees close to the house or older construction that creates multiple entry points. Our local experience means we know how to handle these specific situations that generic pest control approaches miss.

How long does it take to get rid of ants completely?

Most ant problems are eliminated within 2-4 weeks after treatment, but you’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days. The timeline depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants can take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. We use baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, which eliminates the queen and larvae you can’t see. This approach takes a bit longer than surface spraying, but it actually solves the problem instead of just pushing ants to different areas of your home.
Yes, we use targeted application methods and products that are safe when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We place bait stations in areas where ants travel but children and pets don’t typically access. Most treatments require just a brief period where family members stay out of treated areas while products dry or settle. We always explain exactly what we’re using and any precautions you should take. Our integrated pest management approach means we use the minimum amount of product necessary to solve your ant problem effectively.
Store-bought products typically only kill the ants you can see, not the colony producing them. When you spray visible ants, you’re eliminating maybe 10% of the actual problem. The queen keeps laying eggs, and new workers replace the ones you killed. Over-the-counter baits often aren’t attractive enough to compete with the food sources ants have already found in your home. Professional treatments use more effective attractants and delivery systems that ensure the active ingredient reaches the entire colony, including the reproductive ants that keep the infestation going.
Ant control pricing depends on the species, severity of infestation, and size of your property. Most residential treatments in Haddon Township range from reasonable service call fees for minor problems to more comprehensive treatments for established carpenter ant colonies. We provide upfront pricing after inspecting your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Consider that carpenter ants can cause hundreds or thousands in structural damage if left untreated, making professional elimination a smart investment in protecting your home’s value.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black, and actually excavate wood to create their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can weaken structural elements of your home. You’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near their activity. Regular pavement or sugar ants are smaller and mainly looking for food sources – they’re annoying but don’t damage your home’s structure. Carpenter ants indicate moisture problems and require different treatment approaches. If you’re seeing larger black ants, especially near windows or in areas where wood meets soil, you likely have carpenter ants that need immediate professional attention.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control work with a service guarantee. If ants return in treated areas within the warranty period, we’ll come back at no additional charge to reassess and retreat as needed. The specific terms depend on the type of treatment and ant species, which we’ll explain clearly before starting work. Our goal is complete elimination of your ant problem, not just temporary reduction. We’ve been serving Haddon Township long enough to know that our reputation depends on solving problems correctly the first time, so we make sure our treatments work.
