We Know NJ Ants

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant problems throughout New Jersey for years. We understand the specific ant species that invade homes in Lambs Terrace and surrounding areas.

Our technicians know the difference between carpenter ants that damage wood structures and pavement ants that just want your kitchen crumbs. This matters because different ants require different approaches.

We’re local, licensed, and focused on getting results that stick. No corporate call centers or one-size-fits-all treatments.

Ant Control Process

Here's How We Eliminate Ants

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their entry points. Different ants nest in different places – some in walls, others underground, some in rotting wood.

Next, we treat the colony directly, not just the ants you see walking around. We use targeted baits that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and entire colony.

Finally, we seal entry points and create barriers to prevent new infestations. You’ll know exactly what we did and what to expect going forward.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days after initial treatment. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size. Carpenter ants typically take longer than pavement ants because their colonies are larger and more established. We use baits that worker ants carry back to the colony, which takes time to reach the queen and eliminate all members. You’ll usually notice a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days, with complete elimination following shortly after.
No, we use EPA-approved products that are safe around families and pets when applied correctly. Our baits are placed in tamper-resistant stations or applied in areas where children and pets can’t access them. Most treatments require no evacuation time – you can stay in your home during and after application. We always explain any precautions specific to your treatment, but our methods prioritize safety without compromising effectiveness against ants.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. When you spray visible ants, you’re eliminating maybe 10% of the actual problem. The queen keeps producing more workers, so new ants appear within days. Professional ant control targets the entire colony using baits that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and all colony members. This is why professional treatment provides long-term results while DIY sprays offer only temporary relief.
We identify ant species by examining their size, color, behavior, and nesting preferences during our inspection. Carpenter ants are larger and often found near wood structures, while pavement ants are smaller and typically enter through foundation cracks. Sugar ants prefer sweet foods, while grease ants target proteins and fats. Proper identification is crucial because different species require different treatment approaches. Our technicians are trained to recognize the common ant species in New Jersey and select the most effective treatment method for each type.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control services with a treatment guarantee. If ants return within the warranty period, we’ll come back and retreat at no additional cost. The specific warranty terms depend on the ant species and treatment method used. We’re confident in our approach because we eliminate entire colonies rather than just surface ants. However, guarantee coverage doesn’t include new infestations from different entry points or different ant species that may appear later.
Professional ant control typically costs more upfront than store-bought products, but it’s more cost-effective long-term because it actually solves the problem. Most homeowners spend $50-100 on various DIY products that provide only temporary relief, then call professionals anyway when ants keep returning. Our treatments eliminate the entire colony in one service, preventing the ongoing expense and frustration of repeatedly buying products that don’t work. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re investing in permanent ant elimination.
