Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bulldog Ant, is one of the largest sized species of ants in Australia, they typically measure 15-36mm in length. It is also commonly known as a Bull Ant Or Jumper Ant, is red/black in color and has long, straight, distinguishing mandibles that make them instantly recognisable with big 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.

Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely dispersed across all states. Typically found outside, they build their nests underground, although some favor a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to locate since it features a small opening which is covered with plants or debris. They’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

Known for its competitive character, Bull Ants produce a strong, venom-filled bite that causes extreme pain. They are mainly awful once they know their home is at risk. An allergic reaction or multiple bites in people may prompt anaphylactic stun, which is risky. The Bull Ant especially utilises its venom to incapacitate insect prey.
