Ant Control Process Northmont

Here's How We Eliminate Colonies

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species, locate entry points, and find the colony source. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we’re looking for the trails, nesting sites, and structural issues that let ants establish themselves in your home.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, not just the workers you see. Different ant species require different approaches, and we use the specific methods that work for your situation. We also seal entry points and eliminate the conditions that attracted ants in the first place.

Finally, we monitor the results and provide follow-up treatments if needed. Most ant problems are resolved with the initial treatment, but we stand behind our work. If ants return within our warranty period, so do we – at no additional cost.

Comprehensive Ant Treatment Northmont

What's Included in Your Service

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies not just where ants are, but why they’re there. We locate nesting sites, entry points, food sources, and moisture issues that contribute to infestations.

Treatment includes colony elimination using professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. We target the specific ant species in your home with methods proven effective for that type. This includes baiting systems for some species and direct treatment for others.

Prevention measures are part of every service. We seal entry points, eliminate attractants, and provide recommendations for keeping ants from returning. You also get our service warranty – if ants come back within the coverage period, we return to re-treat at no charge. Most Northmont homeowners never need to use this warranty, but it’s there for your peace of mind.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 7-14 days of initial treatment, but this depends on the species and colony size. Carpenter ants often take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. Pavement ants and odorous house ants typically respond faster. You’ll usually see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, with complete elimination following as the treatment reaches the entire colony. Some species require follow-up treatments, which is why we include monitoring and warranty coverage with every service.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and they damage wooden structures by excavating galleries for nesting. You’ll often find sawdust-like debris near their activity areas. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which can compromise structural integrity over time. Regular house ants like pavement ants or odorous house ants are smaller, primarily interested in food sources, and don’t cause structural damage. However, they can contaminate food and are persistent once established. The treatment approach differs significantly between species, which is why proper identification is crucial for effective control.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products and application methods designed for residential environments with families and pets. Modern ant control relies on targeted baiting systems and precision application rather than widespread spraying. Most treatments are applied in areas where children and pets don’t have direct contact, such as wall voids, entry points, and exterior perimeters. When interior treatment is necessary, we use products with low toxicity profiles and provide specific instructions for any temporary precautions. Our technicians are trained in safe application practices and will explain any recommendations specific to your household situation.
Consumer products typically only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. Spraying visible ants can actually make the problem worse by causing the colony to split and establish multiple nesting sites. Most over-the-counter baits use attractants that don’t appeal to all ant species, or they contain active ingredients in concentrations too low to eliminate entire colonies. Additionally, without proper species identification, homeowners often use the wrong type of treatment entirely. Professional ant control targets the specific species with appropriate methods, locates and treats the actual colony source, and addresses the underlying conditions that allow infestations to establish and persist.
Ant control pricing varies based on the species involved, infestation severity, property size, and treatment method required. Most residential ant treatments in Northmont range from $150-$400 for initial service. Carpenter ant treatments typically cost more due to the complexity of locating and treating their extensive colonies. Simple pavement ant or odorous house ant problems usually fall on the lower end of the range. We provide upfront pricing after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Most homeowners find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective store products, especially when you factor in the time and frustration saved.
Keep your kitchen clean by wiping down surfaces, storing food in sealed containers, and fixing any moisture issues like leaky pipes or poor drainage. Seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundation areas where ants commonly enter. Trim vegetation away from your home’s exterior and eliminate standing water sources. Remove pet food bowls when not in use and clean up any spills immediately. We provide specific recommendations based on what we find during your inspection, as different properties have different risk factors. Following these prevention measures, combined with our professional treatment, typically keeps homes ant-free long-term. If ants do return within our warranty period, we’ll re-treat at no additional cost.
