Are Bull Ants Pestering Your Home?

Ants are known as hard workers and they play a significant role in our surroundings. Though there are different species of ants in the whole wide world, there’s one that is intriguing – the Bull Ant.

Bull Ant or bulldog ant is deemed to be the largest in Australia since they generally measure around 15 to 36mm in length. They are either red or black in colour and has a distinct appearance. They have very long and straight mandibles, a stinger filled with venom and large eyes.

Bull ants diet is mainly protein rich which predominantly includes other insects. They also enjoy fruits, nectar and seeds. They build colonies to protect the swarm and their queen, though sometimes, the queen takes over other colonies by killing the original queen and have the ants from the other tribe become captive.

Known for its competitive nature, Bull Ants make 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 reaction or several 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 inside your household and surrounding area, it is best to do some preventative measures. As aforementioned, these ants are extremely competitive and they’ve venom-filled stingers. Also, do not attempt to eliminate their colony by yourself. Call in the nearest help of pest exterminator so that they can give suitable treatment control. Here are some tell-tale hints you can assume for ant infestation:

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 quickly. Ant pathways – in and outside of your home or premises are another sign. Some types of ants will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This compound attracts other ants to find the food.

A nest site can look like a small pile of soil or dirt. Some species of ant like to make their home in walls or other quiet, dark places, which can be more difficult to spot.
