Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated kinds of ants in Australia and generally measures about 15-36mm long. It’s 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 scrounges for a protein-based food that dominatingly incorporates different kinds of insects. They similarly appreciate nectar, seeds and organic products. They are also capable of invading other colonies in which the queen could kill the original queen and make captives of the swarms.

Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all countries. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although some prefer a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to find as it features a small opening which is covered with plants or debris. They will attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

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