BUDD LAKE, NJ - July 29, 2025 - Affordable Pest Solutions LLC, a leading provider of pest management services in Northwest New Jersey, today released a comprehensive guide on natural ant repellents for homeowners dealing with seasonal ant infestations. As temperatures rise across New Jersey, residents are experiencing increased ant activity, prompting the need for effective and environmentally conscious solutions.
The guide highlights thirteen natural methods that can supplement professional ant control services, offering homeowners temporary relief while waiting for professional intervention. These recommendations come at a critical time as ant infestations typically peak during summer months in New Jersey.
"While professional ant control in New Jersey remains the most effective long-term solution, many homeowners are looking for immediate, natural options to manage minor infestations," said Sandy Shaljian, Business Manager at Affordable Pest Solutions LLC. "Our team has compiled these recommendations based on field experience and scientific research to help residents make informed decisions about pest management in their homes."
The compilation of natural remedies includes common household items such as vinegar solutions, essential oils, and diatomaceous earth. Each recommendation comes with specific application instructions and explanations of how these substances disrupt ant behavior patterns. The guide emphasizes that while these methods may provide temporary relief, they rarely address the root cause of infestations.
According to pest management experts, ant species in New Jersey have evolved sophisticated colony structures and behaviors that make complete DIY elimination challenging. Professional pest control services in New Jersey utilize integrated pest management approaches that target colonies at their source while considering the specific ant species present.
"Understanding ant behavior is crucial for effective control," explained Shaljian. "Different ant species respond differently to various treatments. For example, carpenter ants require completely different approaches than pavement ants or odorous house ants. This is why professional identification is an important first step in any ant control strategy."
The guide also addresses common misconceptions about ant prevention and removal methods. For instance, while chalk lines may temporarily disrupt ant trails, they rarely provide lasting protection. Similarly, cornmeal and certain other folk remedies show limited effectiveness against established colonies.
Affordable Pest Solutions emphasizes the importance of combining these natural approaches with preventative measures such as proper food storage, regular cleaning of surfaces, and sealing entry points around the home. These practices align with New Jersey pest control regulations that encourage integrated pest management strategies, minimizing chemical interventions when possible.
The company's release of this information comes as part of its ongoing community education initiative. Since its founding, Affordable Pest Solutions has maintained a commitment to customer education alongside its professional exterminator services. This approach has earned the company recognition as a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite and BBB-accredited business.
For homeowners dealing with persistent ant problems despite trying natural remedies, the company recommends a professional evaluation. Professional ant control services can identify the specific ant species, locate nests, and implement targeted treatments that address the root cause of infestations.
"Our goal is to help homeowners make informed decisions about pest management," added Shaljian. "While we're always available to provide professional ant removal services, we believe educated consumers make better choices about when to attempt DIY methods and when to call professionals."
The complete guide to natural ant repellents is now available on the company's website, along with additional resources on how to get rid of ants in New Jersey homes and preventing future infestations.
