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 which make them instantly identifiable with large 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 outside, they build their nests underground, even though some prefer 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 will attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.
Known for its aggressive character, Bull Ants make a strong, venom-filled bite that causes intense pain. They are mainly awful once they know their home is in danger. An allergic reaction or multiple bites in people may prompt anaphylactic stun, which can be risky. The Bull Ant specifically utilises its venom to incapacitate insect prey.
If you think there are bull ants swarming in your property, it would be best to call the closest pest control experts. You can’t just simply handle in removing bull ant’s nest as this requires professional handling. As aforementioned, Bull ants are quite aggressive and their stingers are filled with venom. However, there are simple things you can do and that’s to look at your surrounding area for tell-tale signs:
Presence of live ants
If you’re seeing large numbers of live ants then you may well have a problem. If you find them in your kitchen or in areas where you prepare food, then you need to do something about it fast. Ant pathways – in and out of your home or premises are another sign. Some kinds of ants will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This compound attracts other ants to obtain the food.
Ant Nest
Most ant nest site has a small heap of dirt surrounding it unlike Bull snakes, it’s not present. As aforementioned they reside in hollow tree trunks, rotten logs and or burrowed in bushy places. Though some species of ant have homes in dark places which are more difficult to spot.
Generally, ants come inside our property for food. They are also attracted to sweet and sticky substances like sugar and chocolates. That’s why it is important to keep your kitchen and dining area as clean as you can. As a preventative measure, here are some ways where you can control ants from gaining entry at your dwelling.
You can also seal small holes and cracks and any access points you may find in your home to prevent ants from gaining entry.

What should I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been sprayed?
This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you possibly can. After a relatively short period of time, the carrier, tap water will have evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.
Will the gel that you use on the inside of my cupboards cause any contamination to the food inside?
We apply the gel only to places within the cupboard where insects are found. This means it will only be applied to cracks, crevices, and hinges.
Am I likely to see the return of pests after the treatment?
It is possible that insects such as ants, spiders or cockroaches may venture inside your property after the treatment has been completed. However, there is a very high likelihood that they will have crossed treated areas and will die very soon afterward.
