Typical ant species found in Perth

Perth is home to several ant species, each of which can pose different challenges:

  • Black house ants: Commonly found indoors, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Coastal brown ants: Known for nesting in walls and causing damage to structures.
  • Argentine ants are an invasive species notorious for their large colonies.

Understanding these species helps us tailor our ant control strategies to provide effective and long-lasting results.

Indicators of an ant infestation

Early detection of an ant infestation is vital to successful control. Look out for these signs:

  • Ant trails: Ants leave scent trails, often visible along walls, floors, and near food sources.
  • Nesting sites: Small piles of dirt or soil may indicate where ants have established nests, either outdoors or inside walls.
  • Food contamination: Ants are drawn to food, particularly sugary or greasy items, and can contaminate kitchens or pantries.

If you notice any of these signs, it's time to seek professional pest control services to minimise the problem before it escalates.

Effective ant minimisation methods

At Rentokil, we use a range of proven techniques to ensure effective ant control:

Thorough property inspection

A detailed inspection is the foundation of effective ant control. Our experienced technicians conduct an in-depth assessment of your property to identify the species of ants, the severity of the infestation, and the location of nests. This information allows us to create a targeted treatment plan that addresses the root of the problem, ensuring more precise and efficient control.

Baiting systems

Baiting is one of the most effective methods for reducing ants, mainly when targeting entire colonies. We use specially formulated baits that attract ants, returning the bait to their nest. Sharing the bait among colony members leads to a gradual reduction in the population, including the queen. This method benefits persistent and large-scale infestations, ensuring the problem is tackled at its source.

Barrier treatments

Our barrier treatments are designed to prevent ants from entering your property by applying a protective chemical barrier around key entry points. This method creates an invisible shield that repels ants, stopping them before they can infiltrate your home or business. Barrier treatments are particularly effective in protecting against re-infestation, as they provide a long-lasting solution that deters ants from re-entering.

Non-toxic and low-risk solutions

We also offer non-toxic and low-risk solutions for clients prioritising safe and effective pest control. Our non-toxic treatments utilise naturally derived products safe for humans and pets while effectively targeting ants. These solutions disrupt the ants' behaviour and prevent them from establishing colonies. Non-toxic methods are ideal for homes with children, pets, or those who prefer low-risk options. These treatments are also applied with precision to ensure effective results..

Ant insecticide spray and dust

Our targeted insecticide sprays are highly effective for immediate relief from visible ants. They reduce ants on contact and can be applied indoors and outdoors. We also use insecticide dust in hard-to-reach areas such as cracks, crevices, and wall voids, where ants often hide. The dust works overtime to manage ants as they come into contact with it, providing long-lasting protection in areas that are difficult to treat with sprays.

Business-focused ant control solutions

Ant infestations can be a severe issue for Perth businesses, impacting operations and reputation. Whether it's a restaurant, office, or warehouse, an ant problem can disrupt daily activities, compromise hygiene standards, and result in negative customer experiences. Rentokil provides tailored ant control services for commercial properties, supporting ongoing ant management to help maintain day-to-day business operations.

We protect kitchen areas and dining spaces for restaurants and food establishments to prevent contamination and safeguard food safety. Offices and commercial buildings benefit from our preventative solutions, keeping workspaces clean and from pests. Warehouses and storage facilities are protected from ant contamination, ensuring that stored goods are kept intact and undamaged. Our business-focused approach includes discreet, flexible services that minimise disruption and support smooth operations, while helping meet regulatory requirements through ongoing pest management.

Frequently asked questions

Rentokil’s ant control process starts with a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify the specific ant species and assess the extent of the infestation.
