Ants in your home or business can be more than just a nuisance; they can cause real damage and disruption. In the Perth area, where ant infestations can quickly become severe due to our unique climate, it’s essential to have a trusted pest control team on your side. At Rockypest, we specialise in comprehensive and effective ant pest control solutions that are tailored to address your specific needs.
Understanding Ant Infestations
Ant infestations can happen for various reasons, ranging from poor sanitation to environmental factors. Ants can find inroads into buildings through the tiniest of cracks and quickly establish colonies. They can contaminate food, cause structural damage, and even bite, leading to uncomfortable and unhealthy living conditions.
At Rockypest, we believe in tackling ant infestations from the root. Our approach includes the following:
Inspection and Identification
Our professional team conducts a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of ants and the source of the infestation. Understanding the species of ants involved is crucial as it informs the most effective treatment strategy.
Targeted Treatment Plans
Based on our findings, we develop a customised treatment plan tailored specifically to your situation. Unlike generic solutions, our targeted plans focus on eradicating the ant colonies and preventing future infestations.
Safe and Effective Methods
We use scientifically proven methods to treat ant infestations, ensuring effective results without compromising the safety of your family, pets, or property. Our environmentally friendly approaches prioritise your well-being and that of the planet.
Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
After the initial treatment, we offer ongoing monitoring and prevention measures to ensure that ants don’t return. Our team provides valuable advice on how to maintain a pest-free environment, addressing any potential vulnerabilities in your property.
Common Types of Ants in Perth
In Perth, several ant species are prevalent, each with unique characteristics and challenges.
Argentine Ants
Dark brown and small (2.2 to 2.8 mm), these ants can contaminate food supplies, bite, and spread germs. They thrive in home foundations, moist environments, and debris, attracted to food remnants and insects.
Black House Ants
Shiny black and 2.5 to 3 mm long, these ants often spread Salmonella bacteria and can spoil food storage. Found in kitchens, rubbish, and pathways, they're highly attracted to sweet foods, plants, and seeds.
Bulldog Ants
Large (18 to 20 mm), black or red, these aggressive ants sting when their nests are disturbed. They reside in bushy areas and feed on fruit, plant nectar, and insects.
Coastal Brown Ants
Ranging from yellow to brown and 1.5 to 2.5 mm in size, these ants are agricultural pests. They nest in dry soil, lawns, and gardens, drawn to oily foods, fruit, and sweets.
Fire Ants
Copper brown with dark abdomens, these ants (3.2 to 6.4 mm) can bite intensely and attack in large numbers. Found in gardens and indoors, they are attracted to dead animals, food refuse, and fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take to get rid of ants after spraying?
It depends on the method and medium you use, as well as the colony size. There are a lot of DIY procedures that you can apply, but if not done thoroughly, you end up seeing ants again. There are also plenty of insecticides available in the market that can kill these pesky insects either instantaneously or gradually.
To completely exterminate a colony, it would take at least 2 weeks and sometimes months of treatment is required depending on the size.
