Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bulldog Ant is one of the biggest types of ants in Australia and steps about 15-36mm long. It’s also known as Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is red/black and has exceptionally long, straight, distinctive mandibles which make them recognisable 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 original queen.

Among the exclusive Australian ant species, they can be found all around the states. Generally, they are found outdoors and construct their homes underground. They can also build a nest in an emptied tree trunk or spoiled log. Their nest is sometimes hard to find as it includes a tiny opening which is covered with plants or debris. They will attack any intruder who approaches their dwelling.

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