Ants are not all the same. That matters more than most people realize — because the treatment that eliminates one species does nothing to another. Generic ant spray from the hardware store kills the ants you can see. It doesn't touch the colony. Within days, the trail is back.
PestGone Pest Control identifies the species, locates the colony, and applies the treatment that actually works on that specific ant problem in your Hudson home. We do it once. We do it right.

Spray the wrong thing and you make the problem worse.
Carpenter ants don't eat wood — they excavate it. We locate parent colonies and satellite colonies, using non-repellent insecticide that workers carry back, eliminating the source.
We target fire ant mounds with direct drench treatment and apply perimeter granular bait. Full mound elimination typically occurs within 7–14 days.
We identify the species and travel routes, placing gel or liquid bait where workers are active. We avoid repellent sprays that disperse colonies.
We provide commercial programs with service documentation, FSMA-compliant bait placements, and scheduled inspections. Same-day emergency response available.
Applied every 60–90 days, our exterior perimeter treatment creates a defensive zone around the foundation, intercepting foraging ants before they enter.

Typical residential ant exterminator service in Hudson ranges from $100 to $350. Carpenter ant infestations sit at the higher end, while one-time exterior perimeters typically run $100–$180. We quote before we treat. No surprises.
Recurring pressure is almost always an exterior colony issue. Without treating the exterior colony and sealing structural gaps, the cycle repeats.
Slow-transfer bait treatments take 3–7 days for most species and 7–14 days for carpenter ants, effectively eliminating the colony.
Incorrect treatment risks causing colony fragmentation, which spreads the problem.
Activity peaks in spring/summer but can persist indoors year-round. Carpenter ants in heated wall voids remain active through winter.
Yes, when applied correctly. We use targeted gel bait placements in out-of-reach locations and exterior perimeter treatments.
