Our dedication to green solutions, outstanding customer care, and unmatched expertise has earned us the trust of our community and 11 consecutive “Best of Essex” Gold Medals from Suburban Essex Magazine (2014–2024).
When it comes to ant control, timing and targeted treatment matter. Ants, which are most active between April and October and can quickly become a year-round issue without proper intervention. That’s where we come in.
Our exterminators can treat for the following ant species:
- Odorous House Ants: Small ants that invade kitchens and bathrooms, often attracted to sweets and moisture. They give off a musty odor when crushed.
- Carpenter Ants: Large ants that tunnel through wood, potentially causing structural damage. Commonly found in damp or decaying areas of the home.
- Citronella Ants: Yellow ants known for their lemony scent when crushed. Typically nest outdoors but may surface near basements or foundations after rain.
Let our award-winning team help you take back control of your home. Call today to speak with a friendly service specialist and see why so many of your neighbors choose Dial Environmental year after year.
Indoor Treatment for Odorous House Ants
If you’ve noticed small, dark ants trailing along your kitchen counters or baseboards, especially after rain, you might be dealing with odorous house ants. Named for the unpleasant, musty smell they release when crushed, these ants are one of the most common indoor invaders in New Jersey homes.
Odorous house ants typically enter your home in search of food, water, or shelter from outdoor conditions. Once inside, they’re quick to form large colonies and can be difficult to eliminate without professional help.
Our indoor ant control service includes:
- Targeted treatments for both nuisance ants and wood-damaging carpenter ants
- Seasonal protection when ant activity peaks—from spring through fall
- Discreet, family- and pet-friendly solutions that put your peace of mind first
- Long-term prevention plans designed to keep ants out
Our trained technicians use methods that are safe for your home and family while delivering long-lasting relief. If odorous house ants are making themselves at home, call us today to show them the door.
Carpenter Ant Control to Protect Your Home
Carpenter ants aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a threat to your property. Unlike other ants, carpenter ants tunnel through wood, which can lead to structural damage over time if left untreated. They don’t eat the wood like termites, but their habit of nesting inside it can cause serious issues.
These ants are often drawn indoors by moisture problems, decaying wood, or easy access to food and shelter. Common entry points include damaged siding, gaps around windows or doors, and even tree limbs that touch your roof.
Our carpenter ant service includes:
- Thorough Inspection: We’ll locate nesting sites, trace activity, and identify what’s attracting the ants
- Targeted Treatment: We use specialized solutions to eliminate carpenter ants at the source and prevent them from returning
Carpenter ant damage can be costly; don’t wait for it to add up. Let our expert team inspect and protect your home today.
Effective Treatment for Citronella Ants
Citronella ants are small, yellowish ants named for the lemon-like scent they release when crushed. While they primarily nest outdoors in soil and under stones, they can sometimes wander indoors, especially after heavy rain or when searching for food and moisture.
If you’re noticing these ants near your foundation or inside your home, it’s important to address the issue promptly. Our expert team offers targeted treatments to eliminate citronella ants and prevent them from returning, helping keep your home pest-free year-round.
