Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated types of ants in Australia and generally measures about 15-36mm long. It is also known as a Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is dark red/dark in colour and has long, recognisable mandibles which make them instantly identifiable with large eyes.

The Bull Ant forages for a protein based diet which predominantly contains 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.

Almost an exclusive Australian species, they are widely dispersed across all states. Typically found outside, they build their nests underground, even though 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 debris or plants. They will attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

Known for its aggressive nature, Bull Ants make a powerful, venom-filled bite which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are mainly vicious when they feel the nest is at risk. An allergic reaction or several bites in humans may result in anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.
