Treat the colony, not just the trail

Get Rid of Ants Properly

Rayco Pest Control treats ants in and around homes and businesses across Greater Perth. The job is not just the trail you can see on the bench — we look for the nest, the entry points, and the food or moisture that is keeping the colony coming back.

A technician picks the mix that fits the species and the site: residual spray on mounds and travel lines, insecticidal dust in voids or the sub-floor, granular bait outside, and gel bait on selected indoor spots. Used together that is a professional ant treatment, not a supermarket spray that only knocks down the workers you noticed today.

Treatments are selected to be pet-safe and child-safe when used as directed. Most properties can be used again within about an hour. A typical 4×2 home is often around $300 — we confirm the price before we start.

Our commitment: a licensed local technician, a clear explanation of what we found, and a plan aimed at the colony rather than a one-off wipe of the kitchen.

Signs of Ants

What we look for on a Perth property

Visible trails

Lines of ants between a food source and the nest — along skirtings, window sills, pavers and garden edges.

Mounds in the lawn

Small piles of soil in grass, garden beds or against paths. These are outdoor colony entrances, not just dirt.

Ants in brick pavers

Nests under or between pavers — a very common Perth sight, especially after rain or watering.

Kitchen sightings

More ants indoors around benches, pet bowls and bins. Small black ants on plates or in cupboards need a proper bait, not a wipe.

Wall and floor nests

Black house ants often nest in wall cavities and under floors, so the trail you see is only the foraging line.

Frass near timber

Sawdust-like material near timber can point to carpenter-ant activity. Tell us if you see this — the treatment is different.

How We Get Rid of Ants

The technician chooses the mix that will actually reach the nest

Residual spray

Ant insecticide or termiticide on travel lines and rest spots — including ant mounds — so workers pick up product as they forage.

Dust in voids

Insecticidal dust pumped into inaccessible areas and the sub-floor where nests sit out of reach of a surface spray.

Granular bait outside

Granular ant bait on external floors and around nests so the colony feeds on it and takes it home.

Gel bait inside

Ant gel on selected indoor spots — kitchens, around pipes, and along the trail — without fogging the whole house.

What a Typical Ant Job Looks Like

From the first call through to using the house again

1

Book or request a quote

Tell us the suburb, house size and where you are seeing ants. We confirm an indicative price or book a technician.

2

Inspect trails and nests

We look for mounds, paver nests, entry points and indoor trails so the treatment matches the species and the site.

3

Spray, dust and bait

Residual spray on mounds and travel lines, dust in voids, granular bait outside and gel bait inside where it helps.

4

Back in about an hour

Treatments are pet-safe and child-safe when used as directed. Most properties can be used again within one hour.

Common Ants Around Perth Homes

Identification matters — bait and spray are not one-size-fits-all

Coastal brown ant — aggressive forager, likes sweets

Black house ant — wall cavities and under floors

Argentine ant — invasive, large multi-queen colonies

Black sugar ant — common around kitchens and bins

Fire ant — aggressive; report suspected nests

Bulldog ant — large outdoor species, painful sting

What Helps Between Visits

Prevention will not replace a colony treatment, but it stops the next trail forming

Clean food residue

Wipe benches, clean up crumbs and store food in sealed containers. Pet bowls left out overnight are a favourite.

Seal entry points

Cracks, weep holes, gaps at pipes and poorly sealed doors are how black house ants commute indoors.

Fix moisture

Leaky taps, wet sub-floors and over-watered pavers keep colonies close to the house.

Yard and pavers

Mow edges, lift stored timber off the ground, and tell us about mounds in the lawn or ants coming up through paving.

Around $300 for a typical house

Ant Pest Control Prices

Guide only — the quote depends on house size and how established the colony is

Ant treatment ~$300

Floor and wall pesticide plus granular or gel baits where required for a standard 4×2 home on about 700 m2.

General pest from $250

If you also have cockroaches, spiders or rodents, a combined general pest visit is often the better value. Typical 4×2 around $360.

Follow-up if needed

Most ant jobs are a single visit. Heavy or multi-queen infestations may need a return — we will say so before we start.

Cafes and commercial

Food businesses are quoted on the site. We can work around opening hours and keep treatment discreet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Perth homeowners usually ask before an ant treatment

It depends on property size and how established the colony is. A typical single-storey 4×2 on about 700 m2 is often around $300. We confirm the price before we treat.

Yes — we use products and placements intended to be pet-safe and child-safe when used as directed. You should be able to use the property again within about one hour.

Killing the workers on the bench does not kill the nest. Professional work combines residual spray, dust in voids, and baits the colony will carry back. That is how you get rid of ants rather than chasing a new trail next week.

Yes. Ants nesting in brick pavers are a common Perth job. We treat the joints, edges and nearby mounds, then bait so the colony in the bedding sand is controlled.

Most residential ant jobs are a single visit. Multi-queen or heavy infestations (for example Argentine ants) may need a follow-up. We will tell you on the day if that is likely.

Yes. We treat homes and hospitality sites. Food businesses are quoted on site so we can work around service times.
