Perth’s warm climate makes it one of Australia’s most active regions for ant infestations. Once a colony establishes inside your walls, under your pavers or in your roof void, surface sprays alone won’t stop them. At Sherlock Integrated Pest Management, our licensed technicians track the entire colony, locating nesting sites, targeting entry points hidden inside wall cavities, and applying treatments that eliminate ants at the source. We protect your home or business from any damage, eco-friendly solutions that are effective long-term.

Black ants commonly invade kitchens and pantries in search of sugary foods. We offer ant pest control to eliminate infestations and block access.
Fire ants are aggressive pests that nest in open areas and deliver painful stings. Our ant control service safely removes nests and prevents re-infestation.
Often mistaken for ants, white ants (termites) are destructive and feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials, threatening homes and buildings.
Some ant species, like carpenter ants, hollow out wood to build nests, weakening structural integrity. Professional ant control detects and eliminates them.
These ants form large colonies & can quickly dominate an area. They’re aggressive towards other ant species & often share their nests.
Mainly nesting outdoors, coastal brown ants will invade homes in search of food & water. They can be difficult to eliminate without professional assistance.
A small, shiny black ant (2.5–3mm) drawn to sweet foods and moisture. Commonly found invading Perth kitchens, pantries, and bathrooms.
Not all ant infestations are the same, and neither is our approach. Every Sherlock treatment is species-specific and tailored to your property, combining the most effective methods available to eliminate the colony at its source.
Granular bait is placed along foraging trails and near nest entry points. Worker ants carry the bait back to the colony and share it with the queen and larvae, eliminating the problem from within. Highly effective for coastal brown ants and Argentine ants with inaccessible nests.
Unlike standard repellent products that ants simply detour around, our non-repellent spray is undetectable to ants. They walk through the treated zone, pick up the active ingredient and transfer it to nest-mates, reaching deep into the colony without detection.
Applied in small, targeted amounts inside kitchens, bathrooms and along skirting boards. Gel bait attracts forager ants with a slow-kill mechanism, ants consume it and return to the nest, spreading the active ingredient throughout the colony.

Seeing ants, especially in lines or near food, water or entry points, is the clearest indicator of an active infestation. Where there's one visible ant, thousands more are nearby in the colony. Spotting large numbers of white-footed ants, black ants or brown ants indoors is a signal to act fast.
Ants lay invisible pheromone trails between food sources and the nest. These pathways form visible lines of ants moving in the same direction along walls, benches, skirting boards and garden edges. A clear ant trail means an established colony is actively foraging from a nearby nest.
Finding ants on kitchen benches, bathroom sinks, windowsills or inside cupboards indicates active foraging. Ants entering the home are searching for food or water to bring back to their colony. Some species, such as bull ants and fire ants, may bite or sting if disturbed, causing pain and potential allergic reactions.
Small piles of fine soil around garden beds, cracked pavers, wall bases or near brick courses indicate active underground nesting. Coastal brown ants are especially known for displacing pavers and uplifting artificial turf as their colonies expand. Mounds near the building perimeter suggest the colony is close to, or already inside, your home's structure.
Certain ant species, particularly those that bite or sting, can cause allergic skin reactions like hives and swelling.
An ant bite or allergy may cause dizziness or light-headedness, which can be more severe for sensitive individuals or children.
Ant-contaminated food can introduce bacteria or allergens, leading to nausea or vomiting. This health hazard requires immediate pest control intervention.
After an ant sting or bite, itching is common. Constant scratching can lead to secondary infections, so controlling ant infestations as soon as possible is vital.
