Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bulldog Ant is one of the biggest kinds of ants in Australia and steps about 15-36mm long. It is also known as Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is red/black and has exceptionally long, straight, distinctive mandibles which make them familiar with substantial eyes.

The Bull Ant forages for a protein based diet which predominantly includes other insects. They also enjoy nectar, seeds and fruits. Colonies tend to be small but the queen does invade other colonies and take them captive, killing the first queen.

As one of the exclusive Australian ant species, they can be found all over the states. Usually, they are found outdoors and assemble their homes underground. They can also build a nest in an drained tree trunk or spoiled log. Their nest is sometimes hard to find as it includes a tiny opening that’s covered with plants or debris. They will attack any intruder that approaches their dwelling.

Known for its aggressive nature, Bull Ants make a powerful, venom-filled bite which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are primarily vicious when they sense the nest is in danger. An allergic response or several bites in humans can lead to anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.
