Ant Control Process Lawnside

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your entire property to identify the ant species, locate colonies, and find every entry point. This isn’t a quick walk-through – it’s a comprehensive assessment that most companies skip.

Treatment targets the source, not just the ants you see. We eliminate entire colonies using professional-grade materials that reach deep into nests. Surface sprays might kill a few ants, but they don’t solve the real problem.

Follow-up visits ensure the colony is completely eliminated and prevent new infestations. We monitor treated areas and adjust the approach if needed. You’re not left wondering if the problem will come back – we make sure it doesn’t.

Carpenter Ant Removal Lawnside

Complete Ant Control Service Included

Every ant control service includes species identification, because different ants require different approaches. Carpenter ants need targeted colony elimination to prevent structural damage. Pavement ants require perimeter treatment to stop new colonies from forming.

You get detailed documentation of problem areas, treatment methods, and prevention recommendations. No guesswork about what was done or why. Clear explanations help you understand the process and maintain results long-term.

All treatments use materials that are effective against ants but safe around your family and pets. Professional-grade doesn’t mean dangerous – it means properly applied by people who understand how these products work and where they belong in your home.

How long does it take to eliminate a carpenter ant colony completely?

Complete carpenter ant colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on colony size and location. You’ll see a significant reduction in ant activity within the first few days, but eliminating the entire colony takes time because the treatment needs to reach deep into their nesting areas. Carpenter ants are particularly challenging because they often have satellite colonies, so thorough treatment ensures all connected colonies are eliminated. Most homeowners see complete elimination within two weeks, with follow-up visits confirming the colony is gone for good.

What's the difference between DIY ant sprays and professional ant control?

DIY sprays only kill the ants you see – they don’t reach the colony or queen. Professional ant control targets the entire colony structure using specialized baits and treatments that worker ants carry back to eliminate the source. Store-bought products often make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and relocate. Professional treatments are strategically placed where ants travel, not just where you see them, and use materials specifically designed for each ant species. The result is complete elimination instead of temporary reduction.

Are professional ant treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, professional ant control treatments are specifically chosen and applied to be safe around families and pets. Licensed technicians use EPA-approved materials and place them in targeted locations away from areas where children and pets spend time. Unlike over-the-counter sprays that you might apply everywhere, professional treatments go exactly where they need to be – in ant travel routes and near colony entry points. Most treatments dry quickly and pose no ongoing risk to household members when properly applied by trained professionals.

How do I know if I have carpenter ants or regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger than most other ants and are usually black or dark brown. The biggest clue is finding small piles of wood shavings near baseboards, window frames, or other wooden structures – carpenter ants excavate wood to build their nests. You might also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls where they’re active. Regular ants like pavement ants are smaller and typically follow food trails to kitchens or dining areas. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage, so professional identification is important if you’re seeing larger ants or any signs of wood damage.

Will ants come back after professional treatment?

Properly executed professional ant control eliminates the existing colony permanently. However, new ant colonies can potentially establish themselves later if conditions are right. That’s why reputable ant control services include follow-up visits to monitor treated areas and catch any new activity early. Most companies also provide prevention recommendations like sealing entry points and eliminating moisture sources that attract ants. With proper treatment and basic prevention measures, most homeowners don’t see ant problems return. If they do, it’s typically a new colony, not the same one coming back.

How much does professional ant control cost compared to DIY methods?

Professional ant control typically costs more upfront than DIY products, but it’s usually more cost-effective long-term because it actually solves the problem. Homeowners often spend months buying different sprays, baits, and repellents that don’t work, adding up to significant costs without results. Professional treatment eliminates the colony in one service, ending the cycle of repeated purchases and wasted time. If you’re dealing with carpenter ants, professional treatment prevents costly structural repairs that can run into thousands of dollars. Most homeowners find professional service pays for itself by actually ending the problem.
