Ant Control Process Haddonfield

Here's How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting areas. Different ants require different approaches, and carpenter ants especially need targeted treatment.

We then apply professional-grade treatments directly to the colony sources. This isn’t just spraying visible ants – we’re eliminating the queen and the entire colony structure that keeps producing workers.

Finally, we seal entry points and create barriers to prevent new colonies from establishing. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, what we treated, and how to keep ants from returning.

What's Included in Your Service

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

Our treatment targets the entire colony structure using safe, EPA-approved products. We focus on long-term elimination, not quick fixes that leave the colony intact.

You’ll receive specific recommendations for preventing future ant problems. This includes sealing techniques, moisture control, and landscape modifications that make your property less attractive to ants. We explain everything in plain terms so you understand exactly what’s happening and why.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 1-2 weeks of treatment, but carpenter ants can take up to 4 weeks for complete elimination. The timeline depends on colony size and species. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days. We target the queen and colony structure, not just worker ants, which takes longer but provides permanent results. If you’re still seeing significant ant activity after our expected timeframe, we’ll return to reassess and retreat at no additional cost.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Most treatments require keeping children and pets away from treated areas for 2-4 hours while products dry. We’ll give you specific instructions for your situation. Our baiting systems are placed in tamper-resistant stations that prevent accidental contact. We avoid broadcast spraying inside homes and instead use targeted applications that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ant colonies.
Store-bought sprays and baits usually only kill the worker ants you see, leaving the queen and colony intact underground. The colony keeps producing new workers to replace the ones you killed. Additionally, many DIY products actually cause ants to split their colonies and spread to new areas of your home. Professional treatments target the entire colony structure with products that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and stopping reproduction. This is why professional treatment provides permanent results while DIY methods often make the problem worse.
Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common house ants – usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch long and black or dark brown. They’re most active at night and often found near water sources or damp wood. You might hear rustling sounds in walls or see small piles of sawdust-like material near wooden structures. Regular ants are typically much smaller and more active during the day. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage by excavating wood for their nests, while other ants are mainly nuisance pests. If you’re seeing large, dark ants especially near wooden areas of your home, you likely have carpenter ants that need immediate professional attention.
Ants are attracted to food sources, water, and shelter. Common attractants include pet food, crumbs, sticky spills, and moisture around sinks or leaky pipes. Carpenter ants specifically seek out damp or damaged wood. To prevent ants, keep food in sealed containers, clean up spills immediately, and fix moisture problems. Seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundation with caulk. Trim tree branches that touch your house since ants use them as highways. Remove wood debris and mulch from directly against your foundation. However, even with good prevention, established colonies nearby can still invade your home and require professional elimination.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control treatments. If you continue to see significant ant activity after our expected elimination timeframe, we’ll return to retreat the area at no additional cost. Our guarantee covers the specific ant problem we treated – if you develop a new ant problem from a different colony or species later, that would require a separate service. We stand behind our work because we use proven methods that target entire colonies, not just surface treatments. Most of our ant control jobs result in complete elimination within the first treatment cycle, but we’re committed to making sure you get the results you’re paying for.
