Ant Control Process Lakeland

Here's How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate all colony entry points. This isn’t a quick walk-through – we’re mapping out exactly how ants are getting into your home and where they’re nesting.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony system, including the queen and satellite nests. We use professional-grade products that ants carry back to the colony, ensuring complete elimination rather than just scattering them to other areas.

Finally, we seal entry points and create prevention barriers around your home’s perimeter. You’ll know exactly what we did and what to expect going forward. Most importantly, if ants return within our guarantee period, so do we – at no additional cost.

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

Most ant problems show significant reduction within 7-14 days, with complete colony elimination typically achieved within 2-4 weeks. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size – carpenter ants often take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. We target the entire colony system, not just surface ants, which means you’ll see fewer ants initially carrying bait back to the nest, followed by complete elimination. If you’re still seeing ant activity after our guarantee period, we return at no charge to reassess and retreat as needed.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are specifically designed to be safe around families when applied by licensed professionals. Our ant baits are placed in tamper-resistant stations or applied in areas inaccessible to children and pets. The products we use target ants specifically and break down quickly in the environment. We’ll walk you through any temporary precautions needed during treatment, but most of our applications allow normal household activities to continue immediately. Your family’s safety is our priority, which is why we’re licensed and trained in proper application methods.
Store-bought products typically only kill the ants you can see, not the colony producing them. Ant colonies can have multiple satellite nests and thousands of members – killing a few dozen worker ants barely impacts the population. Many retail sprays actually make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and relocate. Professional treatments use targeted baits that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the queen and entire nest system. We also have access to more effective active ingredients and know exactly where and how to apply them for maximum impact against specific ant species.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and actually damage your home’s structure by excavating wood to build their nests. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood – they hollow it out, creating galleries that can weaken structural elements over time. Regular house ants (like pavement ants) are smaller and primarily interested in food sources, not structural damage. Carpenter ants require different treatment approaches because their colonies are often located inside wall voids or structural wood. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or areas with moisture issues, you likely have carpenter ants that need immediate professional attention.
Prevention involves eliminating the conditions that attract ants and blocking their access routes into your home. We seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundation areas where ants typically enter. We also identify and address moisture issues that attract carpenter ants, like leaky pipes or poor drainage. Food source management is crucial – we’ll show you how to store food and clean areas that attract ants. Our perimeter treatments create a protective barrier around your home’s exterior. Most importantly, we provide specific recommendations based on your property’s unique ant attractants and entry points, not generic advice.
Yes, our ant control service comes with a guarantee that covers the specific ant problem we treated. If ants return within the guarantee period, we return to reassess and retreat at no additional charge. Our guarantee covers the same ant species and colony system we originally treated – it’s not a blanket pest control warranty, but specific protection against the ant problem you hired us to solve. We stand behind our work because we use proven methods and professional-grade products that eliminate entire colonies. The guarantee terms are clearly explained before service, so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long.
