"Highly recommend. They sprayed inside and out for spiders and ants. Super professional, explained everything, and ensured it was safe for our dog before leaving."
"Had a massive roach problem in our rental. The technician used gels in the kitchen and sprayed the perimeter. It's been 4 months and we haven't seen a single bug since."
"Great price and awesome service. They even checked a loose tile on the roof while dusting the cavity. That Handyman aspect is a huge bonus."
Melbourne's Most Persistent Pest — Finally Under Control
You spray them, they're gone for a day. By tomorrow there's a fresh trail marching straight back through your kitchen. That's because hardware store sprays only kill the workers you can see — the colony sitting beneath your floors or inside your walls keeps going untouched.
At Good Guys Pest Control, our licensed technicians identify the ant species, locate the nesting sites, and apply commercial-grade treatments that travel through the entire colony — wiping out the queen and stopping the invasion for good.
Our 3-Step Ant Eradication Process
1. Property Inspection
We systematically assess your entire property — inside, outside, sub-floor, and roof void. We identify the ant species, map active trails, locate nest sites, and pinpoint exactly how they're getting in.
2. Targeted Colony Treatment
We apply non-repellent sprays that ants cannot detect, so they walk through treated zones and carry the active ingredient straight back to the nest. Where needed, we also deploy gel baits and insecticidal dusts in sub-floors, wall voids, and roof spaces to reach hidden colonies.
3. Handyman Exclusion & Prevention
Unlike standard pest controllers, we are also licensed handymen. We physically seal the cracks, gaps, and weep holes ants are using to enter — closing the door on future infestations before they start.
The 4 Melbourne Ant Species We Eradicate
Getting the treatment right starts with knowing exactly which species you're dealing with. Each one nests differently, feeds differently, and requires a different approach to eliminate.
Black House Ant
The most common ant found inside Melbourne homes. Shiny black and 2.5–3mm long, they trail relentlessly through kitchens and bathrooms in search of sweets and moisture. They nest inside wall voids, under flooring, and around hot water systems.
Our Solution: Liquid and gel baits placed along active trails and inside kitchen hinges. Workers feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony, taking out the queen from within.
Coastal Brown Ant
Found right across Melbourne's suburbs, these ants build large shallow nests under pavers, along pathways, and in garden beds — causing visible soil displacement and structural damage to outdoor surfaces over time.
Our Solution: Granular baits and non-repellent perimeter sprays applied directly into nesting zones around foundations, pathways, and garden edges — hitting the colony where it lives.
Argentine Ant
Small, light brown, and highly invasive. Argentine Ants form super-colonies with multiple queens, making them nearly impossible to control with over-the-counter products. They spread fast and can take over entire garden and wall areas within weeks.
Our Solution: Slow-acting protein and sugar-based baits rotated to match seasonal feeding preferences, ensuring every queen in the super-colony is reached and eliminated.
Bull Ant
Large, aggressive, and capable of an extremely painful sting. Bull Ants nest in garden beds and lawns and are a genuine safety hazard for children and pets. Their sting can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Our Solution: We locate and directly treat nest mounds with insecticidal dust and surface spray, then create a chemical barrier around the treated zone to prevent recolonisation.
Note: White Ants (Termites) are a completely separate pest and require a specialised termite inspection and treatment plan. If you suspect termite activity, contact us for a dedicated termite assessment.
What's Included In Our Ant Treatment?
We leave nothing to chance. A standard Good Guys Ant Treatment covers your entire property — every zone where ants are active or likely to enter.
Inside The Home
Non-toxic gel bait placed inside cupboard hinges, under appliances, and in wet areas. No need to empty your cupboards. Ants feed on the bait and carry it directly back to the nest.
A targeted residual spray applied to all internal skirting boards, door frames, and room perimeters to intercept trailing ants before they reach living areas.
If your home has a sub-floor space, we treat it with insecticidal dust and spray to eliminate colonies nesting beneath your floorboards.
Insecticidal dust blown through the roof cavity to reach ant colonies nesting in ceiling spaces and wall voids above the ceiling line.
Outside The Home
A heavy non-repellent chemical wash applied to external walls, foundations, and garden edges — an invisible barrier ants walk through and transfer back to their colony.
Granular bait and spray applied into active nesting zones under pavers, along garden beds, and around the base of retaining walls where Coastal Brown Ants commonly establish.
We spray all outbuildings, retaining walls, and fences within your property boundary so ants have no safe harbour nearby.
As licensed handymen, we physically seal weep holes, gaps in weatherstripping, and cracks in the external facade — blocking the exact routes ants are actively using to get inside.
Why Choose Good Guys?
The Handyman Advantage
Ants enter through gaps that spraying alone will never fix. Because we're also licensed handymen, we don't just treat — we seal. We physically close the entry points other pest controllers walk straight past.
Guaranteed Results
We use commercial-grade, weather-resistant products that last. If ants return within the guarantee period, we come back and re-treat at no extra cost.
100% Pet & Child Safe
Once the treatment is dry — around 20 minutes — your home is completely safe for kids and pets. We use the same products approved for schools and childcare centres.
