Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

Ants play a significant role in our environment and are deemed to be a hard worker. The ant fauna is large and diverse, about 300 genera and 15,00 described species and subspecies. In Australia, there are approximately 100 genera and 1,300 described species of ants.

The Bull Ant or bulldog ant is one of the most common ant species in Australia as they measure around 15 to 36 mm in length. They’re known to have two colours, black and red and has a distinct appearance. They have long and straight mandibles and a stinger filled with venom and large eyes.

Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely dispersed 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 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 produce a potent, venom-filled sting which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are primarily vicious when they sense the nest is in danger. An allergic response or several bites in humans can result in anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.
