Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bulldog Ant is one of the largest types of rodents 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.

Bull Ant or bulldog ant is deemed to be the largest in Australia because they typically measure around 15 to 36mm in length. They are either red or black in colour and has a distinct appearance. They have very long and straight mandibles, a stinger filled with venom and large eyes.

Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all states. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although some prefer a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to locate 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 aggressive nature, Bull Ants produce a potent, venom-filled bite which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are primarily 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.
