Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated types of rodents 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 that make them instantly identifiable with large 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 first 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 as it features a small opening which is covered with plants or debris. They’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

Known for its competitive character, 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 in danger. An allergic reaction or multiple bites in humans may result in anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.

Have you spotted any bull ants?

If you suspect an infestation within your household and surrounding area, it is best to at least do some preventative measures. As above, these ants are extremely aggressive and they have venom-filled stingers. Also, do not attempt to remove their colony on your own. Call in the nearest help of pest exterminator so that they can give suitable treatment control. Here are some tell-tale signs it is possible to assume for ant infestation:

Presence of live ants

If you are seeing large numbers of live ants you might well have an issue. If you find them in your kitchen or in areas where you prepare food, then you want to do something about it quickly. Ant pathways – in and out of your home or premises are another sign. Some types of ants will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This chemical attracts other ants to find the food.

Ant Nest

A nest site can resemble a little heap of soil or dirt. A few types of ants like to make their houses in walls or other dim, quiet places, which are increasingly tough to spot.

How do you ant-proof your home?

Most ants come in your property seeking out food. They’re attracted to sweets and sticky substances. Here is how you may ant-proof your house:

• Keep your food and food storage clean and tightly sealed
• Clean food and liquid spills Immediately
• Clean food debris from under kitchen appliances
• Make sure all garbage cans are tightly sealed
• Keep compost piles covered
• Put away pet food, container and clutter away once your pet is finished using it

You can also help prevent ants entering your home by sealing access points such as cracks and crevices in the doorway and window frames.
