We Know West Berlin Ant Problems

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant infestations throughout West Berlin and Camden County for years. We’ve seen every type of ant problem these older homes can throw at us.

We’re not the guys who show up, spray some chemical, and disappear. We’re the local team that actually diagnoses what’s happening, treats the real problem, and makes sure you understand exactly what we found and what we did about it.

You’ll work with licensed technicians who live and work in this area. We know which ant species are common here, where they typically nest, and what actually works to get rid of them permanently.

Our Ant Removal Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify the ant species and locate their colonies. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we’re looking for entry points, moisture sources, and nesting sites both inside and outside your home.

Next, we treat the actual colonies, not just the trails you see. Different ant species require different approaches, so we use targeted treatments that eliminate the entire population, including the queen.

Finally, we seal entry points and give you specific recommendations to prevent future infestations. We’ll show you the problem areas we found and explain exactly what we did to fix them. No mystery chemicals, no vague promises – just clear communication about what happened and what to expect.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but it depends on the species and size of the infestation. Carpenter ants typically take longer because their colonies are larger and more established. You might see increased ant activity for the first few days as the treatment spreads through the colony – this is normal and actually indicates the treatment is working. We schedule a follow-up inspection 2-3 weeks after treatment to confirm complete elimination and address any remaining issues.
Carpenter ants are much larger (about 1/2 inch long) and black, while common house ants are smaller and usually brown. The big difference is damage potential – carpenter ants excavate wood to build their nests, which can weaken structural elements over time. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out for nesting space. House ants are mainly a nuisance issue. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or anywhere there’s wood, you likely have carpenter ants and should get professional treatment quickly.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products applied according to strict safety guidelines. Most treatments involve targeted baiting systems and crack-and-crevice applications that keep the product away from areas where children and pets spend time. We’ll explain exactly what products we’re using and any precautions you should take. Many of our treatments are actually safer than store-bought sprays because they’re applied precisely where ants travel, not broadcast across large areas. We always discuss safety concerns upfront and can adjust our approach if you have specific health considerations.
Store-bought sprays kill the ants you see but don’t reach the colony or queen. When you spray an ant trail, you’re eliminating worker ants, but the colony keeps producing more workers to replace them. Professional ant control uses baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, eventually reaching and eliminating the queen. Without the queen, the colony dies. We also identify and treat multiple colonies if present, and seal entry points so new ants can’t establish in the same areas.
Most residential ant control services range from $150-$400 depending on the size of your home, severity of infestation, and ant species involved. Carpenter ant treatments typically cost more because they require more extensive treatment and follow-up. We provide upfront pricing after our inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Many homeowners find professional treatment actually saves money compared to repeatedly buying store products that don’t solve the underlying problem.
Call us immediately if you see ant activity more than two weeks after treatment. Some ant activity in the first week is normal as the treatment works through the colony, but new trails or heavy activity after two weeks indicates the treatment needs adjustment. This is covered under our service guarantee – we’ll return to assess the situation and provide additional treatment at no charge. Sometimes we discover additional colonies during follow-up visits, or need to adjust our approach based on how the ants responded to the initial treatment.
