How Ant Control Works

Our Proven Ant Elimination Process

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species, locate their entry points, and find their nests. This step is crucial because different ants require different treatment approaches.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. We use professional-grade products that ants carry back to their nest, destroying the source of your problem.

Finally, we seal entry points and create protective barriers around your home. You’ll get specific recommendations for preventing future infestations, plus our warranty on the treatment effectiveness. Most customers see results within 24-48 hours.

How long does it take for ant control treatment to work?

Most customers see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours after treatment. However, complete elimination typically takes 7-14 days because the treatment needs time to reach the entire colony, including the queen. You might see increased ant activity initially as they encounter the treatment and carry it back to their nest. This is actually a good sign that the treatment is working. If you’re still seeing ants after two weeks, we’ll return to reassess and retreat at no additional charge under our service warranty.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and actually damage your home’s structure by excavating wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can weaken beams, decks, and window frames over time. Regular sugar ants or pavement ants are smaller, primarily looking for food, and don’t cause structural damage. Carpenter ants are more serious because they indicate moisture problems and can cause expensive repairs if left untreated. Our technicians can quickly identify which type you’re dealing with and recommend the appropriate treatment approach.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products and application methods designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained in precise application techniques that target ants while minimizing exposure to your household. We typically recommend keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they’re dry, usually 2-4 hours. We’ll provide specific safety instructions based on the products used and areas treated. Many of our treatments use bait stations and targeted applications rather than broad spraying, which further reduces any exposure risk to your family.
Store-bought sprays typically only kill the ants you can see, not the colony or queen producing thousands more ants. When you spray visible ants, you’re eliminating maybe 5-10% of the actual problem. The colony simply sends out more workers to replace the ones you killed. Professional ant control uses targeted baits and treatments that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and entire colony. We also identify and seal entry points that store-bought products don’t address. This is why professional treatment provides lasting results while DIY approaches create an endless cycle of temporary fixes.
Ant control pricing depends on the severity of the infestation, ant species, and size of your property. Most residential ant treatments in Jordantown range from basic service calls for minor problems to more comprehensive treatments for established carpenter ant colonies. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Many customers find professional treatment actually costs less than repeatedly buying store-bought products that don’t solve the problem. We also include our service warranty, so you won’t pay again if ants return within the warranty period.
Ant activity in New Jersey typically peaks from late spring through early fall when temperatures are warm and they’re actively foraging. However, the best time to treat is as soon as you notice ant activity, regardless of season. Early intervention prevents small problems from becoming major infestations. Carpenter ants can be active year-round in heated areas of your home, so winter treatment is sometimes necessary. Spring treatments are particularly effective because you’re catching colonies as they become active and before they establish multiple satellite nests. Don’t wait for peak season – immediate treatment saves time, money, and prevents potential structural damage.
