The Rats were in control for the whole match as the side ran out 23.13 (151) to 11.3 (69) winners.
Lachlan Hamilton kicked seven goals for the Rats to finish with a season tally of 42 from 15 games.
Gordon Laurie and Jack Ganley each added four goals of their own.
Ararat’s fourth win of the season lifted it into sixth position, just two points outside the top five.
The Rats had become an unlikely late season finals hope but its poor percentage was always going to make it difficult for the side to move into the top five.
It was a disappointing way to end the season for Dimboola.
The side had been showing improved form over the past month of the season but could not manage a second win to go with its 12-point win against Nhill.
Dimboola finished three and a half wins behind Nhill in last place.
