Ant Removal Process Point of Woods

Here's Exactly How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, we identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting sites. This isn’t guesswork – different ants require different approaches, and we need to find where they’re actually coming from.

Next, we apply targeted treatments that reach the entire colony, including the queen. Surface sprays only kill the ants you see. Our methods eliminate the source so new ants stop appearing.

Finally, we seal entry points and create protective barriers around your home. You’ll get a detailed explanation of what we found, what we treated, and what to expect moving forward. Most customers see results within 24-48 hours.

Comprehensive Ant Control Services Point of Woods

Complete Protection, Not Just Quick Fixes

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

Our treatment targets the entire colony structure using professional-grade materials that aren’t available to consumers. We’re not just killing the ants you see – we’re eliminating the reproductive cycle that keeps them coming back.

Every service includes follow-up monitoring and retreatment if needed. We also provide specific recommendations for preventing future infestations, like moisture control and structural modifications that make your home less attractive to ants.

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

Most ant problems are resolved within 7-14 days of initial treatment. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but complete colony elimination takes longer because the treatment needs time to reach the queen and reproductive ants. Carpenter ant infestations may take slightly longer due to their larger colony size and multiple nesting sites. We include follow-up visits to ensure the entire colony is eliminated and will retreat at no additional cost if ants return within our guarantee period.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Our technicians are trained in proper application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ants. We can discuss specific precautions for your situation, but typically you can remain in your home during treatment. For families with very young children or sensitive pets, we offer additional low-impact treatment options that may require slightly longer treatment periods but provide the same guaranteed results.
Consumer products typically only kill worker ants, not the queen or reproductive ants that keep the colony growing. When you see ants disappear after using store-bought treatments, you’re usually just killing 5-10% of the actual colony. The queen continues laying eggs and sends out new workers within days or weeks. Professional treatments use different active ingredients and delivery methods that specifically target the colony’s reproductive center. We also identify and treat multiple nesting sites that homeowners typically miss.
Carpenter ants are significantly larger than most other ant species – usually ¼ to ½ inch long and black or dark brown. You’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near baseboards, window sills, or structural wood where they’re excavating nests. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood – they hollow it out to create nesting galleries. You might also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls during quiet evening hours. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near wooden structures, you likely have carpenter ants and should get professional treatment immediately to prevent structural damage.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control treatments. If ants return within our guarantee period, we’ll come back and retreat your property at no additional cost. The specific guarantee length depends on the treatment type and severity of the original infestation, but typically ranges from 30-90 days. We also offer annual protection plans that include regular monitoring and preventive treatments to keep your home ant-free year-round. Our goal is complete customer satisfaction – if you’re not happy with the results, we’ll make it right.
We specialize in the specific ant species common to Point of Woods and New Jersey, while national chains often use generic treatment protocols. Our technicians live and work in this area – we understand local conditions, seasonal patterns, and the unique challenges New Jersey homeowners face with carpenter ants and other regional species. You’ll work with the same local team who knows your property and treatment history, not different technicians each visit. We also offer more flexible scheduling including same-day service for urgent situations, something larger companies typically can’t accommodate.
