Our Ant Removal Process

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies Completely

First, we identify exactly what type of ants you’re dealing with and locate their entry points. Different ant species require different treatment approaches, and surface spraying rarely solves the real problem.

Next, we target the entire colony with professional-grade treatments that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and larvae. This is why our results last while store-bought sprays only work temporarily.

We also seal entry points and provide recommendations to prevent future infestations. You’ll know exactly what we did, why we did it, and what to expect going forward. Most customers see complete elimination within days, not weeks.

What's Included in Professional Treatment

You get a thorough inspection to identify ant species, colony locations, and entry points. Many homeowners are surprised to learn they’re dealing with multiple ant types that require different treatment strategies.

Our treatment includes professional-grade baiting systems and targeted applications that eliminate entire colonies, not just visible ants. We focus heavily on carpenter ant control since these cause the most expensive damage to New Jersey homes.

We also provide entry point sealing and prevention recommendations specific to your property. You’ll receive follow-up service if needed and clear guidance on maintaining an ant-free environment. Everything is designed to solve your ant problem permanently, not temporarily mask it.

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

Most ant infestations are eliminated within 7-14 days of professional treatment. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size, but you’ll typically see a dramatic reduction in ant activity within the first few days. Carpenter ants may take slightly longer since their colonies are often larger and more established. We use baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, which eliminates the queen and larvae for complete control. If you’re still seeing significant ant activity after two weeks, we’ll return for additional treatment at no extra charge.
Yes, we use EPA-approved treatments that are safe when applied by licensed professionals. Our baiting systems are placed in tamper-resistant stations that keep treatments away from children and pets while remaining highly effective against ants. We avoid widespread spraying in favor of targeted applications that pose minimal risk to your family. Before treatment, we’ll explain exactly what products we’re using and any precautions you should take. Most treatments allow normal household activities to resume immediately, though we may recommend keeping pets away from specific areas for a few hours.
Carpenter ants are much larger (up to half an inch long) and can cause serious structural damage by tunneling through wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow it out, which weakens your home’s structure over time. Regular house ants are smaller and primarily looking for food sources – they’re annoying but don’t damage your property. Carpenter ants are more common in New Jersey’s wooded areas and are attracted to moisture-damaged wood. If you’re seeing large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or areas with wood damage, you likely have carpenter ants that need immediate professional treatment.
Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you can see, but they don’t eliminate the colony or queen. When you spray visible ants, you’re typically killing worker ants that represent less than 10% of the total colony. The queen keeps producing new ants, so you’ll see them again within days or weeks. Professional ant control uses baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the queen and larvae for complete control. We also identify and treat the actual nest locations, not just the trails you see in your kitchen. This is why professional treatment provides lasting results while DIY approaches require constant reapplication.
Treatment costs vary based on the severity of your infestation and the type of ants involved, but most residential ant control services range from $150-$400 for initial treatment. Carpenter ant infestations typically cost more due to their complex colony structure and the need for more extensive treatment. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers find professional treatment actually saves money compared to repeatedly buying ineffective store products and dealing with potential structural damage from carpenter ants. We also offer follow-up guarantees, so you won’t pay extra if additional treatment is needed.
Yes, we offer quarterly maintenance programs that prevent ant infestations before they start. These services include regular inspections, preventive treatments around your home’s perimeter, and immediate response if ant activity is detected. Ongoing prevention is especially valuable in wooded areas like Woodcrest where carpenter ants are common. The quarterly service costs significantly less than treating a full infestation and gives you peace of mind year-round. We’ll also provide seasonal recommendations for reducing ant attractants around your property, such as moisture control and proper food storage. Most customers find prevention programs eliminate the stress of dealing with recurring ant problems.
