Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bulldog Ant is one of the biggest kinds of ants in Australia and measures about 15-36mm long. It is also known as Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is red/black and has exceptionally long, straight, distinctive mandibles that 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.

Almost an exclusive Australian species, they are widely dispersed across all states. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, even though some prefer 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’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

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