Our Ant Removal Process

Thorough Inspection to Complete Elimination

First, we identify exactly what type of ants you’re dealing with. Carpenter ants need different treatment than sugar ants, and the wrong approach just wastes your time and money.

Next, we locate the colonies – not just the trails you see, but the actual nests where they’re breeding. We trace their entry points, check for moisture issues that attract them, and map out their entire operation.

Then we eliminate the problem at its source. We treat the colonies directly, seal entry points, and apply targeted treatments that the worker ants carry back to eliminate queens and larvae. You’ll see results within days, and the long-term protection keeps them from coming back.

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

Most ant problems show significant improvement within 3-7 days of treatment, but complete elimination typically takes 2-3 weeks. This timeline depends on the species, colony size, and how established the infestation is. Carpenter ants often take longer because their colonies are larger and more complex. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed. The key is patience – we’re eliminating entire colonies, not just the ants you see, which takes time to be thorough and permanent.
Yes, we use targeted application methods and products that are effective against ants while minimizing exposure to your family and pets. We place baits in tamper-resistant stations, apply treatments in areas where children and pets don’t typically access, and use the lowest effective concentrations. We’ll walk you through any temporary precautions needed during treatment, like keeping pets away from specific areas until products dry. Our goal is complete ant elimination without compromising your family’s safety or your pets’ well-being.
Store-bought sprays typically only kill the worker ants you see, not the colonies producing them. When you spray a trail, you’re eliminating maybe 5-10% of the actual ant population. The queens keep producing new workers, and the colony often just relocates or finds new entry points. Professional ant control targets the entire colony structure, uses baits that workers carry back to eliminate queens and larvae, and addresses the root causes like entry points and attractants. That’s why professional treatment provides lasting results while DIY approaches become an endless cycle.
Carpenter ants are significantly larger than most other ant species – usually 6-13mm long compared to 1-5mm for common sugar or pavement ants. They’re typically black or dark brown and have a more robust build. You’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near their activity areas since they excavate wood to build nests. Carpenter ants are also more active at night and prefer moist, damaged wood. If you’re seeing large, dark ants especially around windows, doors, or areas with moisture issues, they’re likely carpenter ants and need immediate attention to prevent structural damage.
Ants are drawn to three main things: food, water, and shelter. Food sources include crumbs, pet food, sugary spills, and even grease residue. Water sources like leaky pipes, condensation, or poor drainage create ideal conditions. Entry points like cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, or utility line openings give them access. Weather changes also drive ants indoors – they seek shelter during heavy rains and temperature extremes. Once scout ants find these resources, they leave chemical trails for others to follow, which is why you suddenly see lines of ants seemingly out of nowhere.
Yes, we stand behind our ant control services with a satisfaction guarantee. If ants return within the specified warranty period, we’ll come back and retreat the area at no additional cost. The warranty length depends on the treatment type and severity of the original infestation, but we typically provide 30-90 day coverage. Our guarantee covers the same ant species in the same areas we treated. We’re confident in our methods because we focus on complete colony elimination rather than surface treatments, but we want you to have peace of mind that your investment is protected.
