Your Kitchen Stays Ant-Free Year-Round

You’ll wake up to clean counters instead of ant trails leading to your coffee maker. No more throwing away contaminated food or feeling embarrassed when guests notice ants in your kitchen.

The real relief comes from knowing the entire colony is gone. Not just the worker ants you see, but the queen and larvae hidden in your walls or foundation. That’s the difference between a temporary fix and actually solving your ant problem.

When carpenter ants are involved, you’re also protecting your home’s structure. These ants tunnel through wooden beams, floor joists, and window frames. Professional ant control stops this damage before it becomes a costly repair issue.

Local Ant Control Experts

We Know New Jersey Ant Behavior

86 Pest and Wildlife Removal has been handling ant infestations throughout Wexford East and surrounding areas for years. We understand how New Jersey’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for carpenter ants and pavement ants to thrive.

Every technician is licensed and trained to identify the specific ant species in your home. This matters because different ants require different treatment approaches. What works for sugar ants won’t eliminate carpenter ant colonies.

We focus exclusively on pest and wildlife issues, so you’re working with specialists who deal with ant problems every day, not a general service company that treats ants as a side business.

Ant Removal Process

Here's How We Eliminate Your Ant Problem

First, a technician inspects your property to identify the ant species, locate entry points, and find nesting sites. This inspection covers both interior and exterior areas because ant colonies often extend from outdoor nests into your home.

Next, targeted treatments are applied directly to ant trails, entry points, and nesting areas. The treatment eliminates worker ants and gets carried back to the colony to eliminate the queen and larvae you can’t see.

Follow-up visits ensure the colony is completely eliminated. Most ant problems require 2-3 treatments spaced 7-14 days apart because ant colonies can have multiple queens and satellite nests. You’ll also receive recommendations for preventing future infestations.

Comprehensive Ant Treatment Solutions

What's Included in Professional Ant Control

Your ant control service includes species identification, which determines the most effective treatment approach. Carpenter ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants all require different strategies.

Interior treatment focuses on active ant trails, entry points around windows and doors, and potential nesting sites in wall voids. Exterior treatment creates a protective barrier around your home’s foundation and eliminates outdoor colonies that send worker ants inside.

You’ll receive specific recommendations for reducing conditions that attract ants. This includes identifying moisture issues, food sources, and structural vulnerabilities. Many Wexford East homes have ant problems that stem from landscaping or drainage issues that can be easily corrected.

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

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 2-3 weeks with proper treatment. You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 48-72 hours after the first treatment. However, complete colony elimination takes longer because worker ants need time to carry the treatment back to the queen and larvae. Carpenter ant colonies can take slightly longer to eliminate because they often have satellite nests in multiple locations around your property.

Will the treatment harm my family or pets?

Professional ant treatments are designed to be effective against ants while remaining safe around people and pets when applied correctly. Most treatments require keeping children and pets away from treated areas for 2-4 hours until surfaces dry. After that, normal household activities can resume. The products we use target ant biology specifically and break down quickly in the environment, unlike some over-the-counter sprays that contain harsh chemicals.

Why do I still see ants after the first treatment?

Seeing ants for several days after treatment is normal and actually indicates the treatment is working. Worker ants continue foraging and carry the treatment back to the colony, where it eliminates the queen and larvae you can’t see. You may notice ants moving more slowly or appearing disoriented. Complete elimination typically occurs within 7-14 days after treatment, which is why we schedule follow-up visits.

How do I know if I have carpenter ants or regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger than most other ant species, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and are usually black or dark brown. You’ll often find small piles of wood shavings near baseboards, window sills, or door frames where they’ve been tunneling. Carpenter ants are most active at night and prefer moist wood, so check areas around leaky pipes, roof leaks, or poorly ventilated spaces. Regular sugar ants are much smaller and focus on food sources rather than wood.

Can I prevent ants from coming back after treatment?

Yes, prevention is very effective once the existing colony is eliminated. Keep food in sealed containers, clean up crumbs immediately, and fix moisture problems like leaky pipes or poor drainage around your foundation. Trim tree branches and shrubs away from your house exterior, and seal cracks around windows and doors. Many customers choose ongoing quarterly treatments to maintain a protective barrier, especially if their property has conditions that naturally attract ants.

Do you guarantee your ant control treatments?

Yes, our ant control treatments come with a service guarantee. If ant activity continues after the complete treatment process, we provide additional treatments at no extra charge. The guarantee covers the specific areas treated and the ant species identified during the initial inspection. Most ant problems are resolved within the initial treatment plan, but complex infestations involving multiple colonies or structural issues may require extended treatment protocols.
