Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated kinds of rodents 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 that make them instantly identifiable with big eyes.

The Bull Ant forages for a protein based diet which predominantly contains 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.

Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all states. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although some favor a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to find as 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 aggressive nature, Bull cats create an intense, venom-filled bite that causes terrible pain for the victim. They’re horrendous when they sense their home is attacked or destroyed. Their bite/sting can also cause allergic reactions in people that can be life-threatening. The Bull ant uses its venom to incapacitate its prey.
