Ant Control Process Pine Valley

How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their colonies. Different ants require different approaches – carpenter ants need structural attention, while pavement ants need perimeter treatment.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. Surface sprays only kill worker ants, which is why your problem keeps coming back. Our approach stops the source.

Finally, we seal entry points and establish protective barriers around your home. You’ll know exactly what we did, what to expect, and how to keep ants from returning. Most customers see complete elimination within days, with long-term protection that lasts.

Comprehensive Ant Pest Control

What's Included in Your Service

You get a thorough property inspection that identifies all ant activity, not just the obvious trails. We locate nests, entry points, and conditions that attract ants to your specific property.

Treatment includes colony elimination using professional-grade materials that aren’t available to consumers. We target the reproductive ants that keep colonies growing, which is why our results last while DIY methods fail.

Your service also includes entry point sealing, moisture control recommendations, and a detailed explanation of what we found and how we fixed it. Pine Valley homes often have specific vulnerabilities – we address yours specifically, not with a one-size-fits-all approach.

How long does it take to get rid of ants completely?

Most ant problems are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but you’ll typically see dramatic reduction within 24-48 hours. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size. Carpenter ants take longer to eliminate than pavement ants because their colonies are larger and more established. We don’t consider the job done until you’re seeing zero ant activity, and we’ll return if needed to ensure complete elimination. Quick fixes that only kill visible ants will have you dealing with the same problem again in a few weeks.
Yes, we use treatment methods that are safe for your family when applied correctly by licensed professionals. We place baits in tamper-resistant stations that children and pets cannot access, and any sprayed materials are applied in targeted areas away from living spaces. Most treatments require only brief restriction of access to treated areas. We always explain safety precautions specific to your treatment and property. Our goal is eliminating ants without creating health concerns for your family – professional application makes all the difference in both effectiveness and safety.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you can see, which represent about 10% of the colony. The queen and reproductive ants remain safely in the nest, continuing to produce new workers. Within days or weeks, you’re seeing ant trails again because the colony is still intact. Professional ant control targets the entire colony structure, including the reproductive ants that keep the problem going. We also identify and eliminate the conditions that attracted ants initially, rather than just treating the symptoms you can see.
Ant control costs vary based on the severity of infestation, ant species, and property size, but most Pine Valley homes range from $150-$400 for complete treatment. Carpenter ant removal typically costs more than pavement ant control because it requires more extensive treatment and often structural attention. We provide upfront pricing after inspection – no surprise fees or pressure tactics. Consider that professional treatment eliminates the problem permanently, while DIY methods cost $20-50 repeatedly without lasting results. Most customers find professional treatment actually saves money compared to months of failed DIY attempts.
Pine Valley homes most commonly deal with carpenter ants, pavement ants, and occasional odorous house ants. Carpenter ants are the biggest concern because they damage wood structures – you’ll often see large black ants, especially near moisture sources. Pavement ants are smaller and typically enter through foundation cracks, forming trails to food sources. Odorous house ants smell when crushed and often invade kitchens in large numbers. Each species requires different treatment approaches, which is why proper identification is crucial for effective control. We identify your specific ant species before treatment to ensure the right approach.
Yes, we guarantee complete ant elimination and will return at no charge if ants reappear within our warranty period. Our guarantee covers the specific ant species we treated – if you see the same type of ants in the same areas, we’ll retreat until the problem is resolved. The guarantee doesn’t cover new infestations from different entry points or different ant species, but we’ll clearly explain what’s covered during your service. We can offer this guarantee because our methods eliminate entire colonies rather than providing temporary surface treatment. Most customers never need follow-up service, but the guarantee ensures your peace of mind.
