The Bulldog Ant, is among the largest sized species of ants in Australia, they typically measure 15-36mm in length. It is also commonly known as a Bull Ant Or Jumper Ant, is red/black in color and has very long, straight, distinguishing mandibles that make them instantly recognisable with large eyes.
The Bull Ant scrounges for a protein-based food which dominatingly incorporates different kinds of insects. They similarly appreciate nectar, seeds and natural products. They are also capable of invading other colonies where the queen can kill the original queen and make captives of the swarms.
Bull ants diet is mainly protein rich which predominantly contains 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 queen and have the ants from another tribe become captive.
Almost an exclusive Australian species, they are widely dispersed across all states. Bull ants are extremely competitive and are proven to be great hunters of larger insects. They live mostly outdoors in vegetative areas like forest and build their nests underground or in hollow tree trunks and rotten log. The nest can be difficult to locate since it as it includes a small opening that’s covered In moss and debris. They’ll attack when they are threatened and intruders come close to their nest.
If you suspect an infestation within your family and surrounding area, it’s ideal to at least do some preventative measures. As aforementioned, these ants are extremely competitive and they have venom-filled stingers. Also, do not attempt to eliminate their colony by yourself. Call in the nearest help of pest exterminator to ensure that they can provide suitable treatment control. Here are some tell-tale hints you can assume for ant infestation:
Presence of live ants
If you are seeing large numbers of live ants then you may well have an issue. 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 types of ants will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This chemical attracts other ants to find the food.
Ant Nest
Ants can live anywhere whether indoors or outdoors, but most of them have nests outside. On top of their nests are a small pile of dirt surrounding it. For Bull snakes, they mostly reside in hollow tree trunks, rotten logs and burrowed in bushy areas. Though some species of ant have houses in dark areas which are more difficult to spot.
Most ants come in your property seeking out food. They are attracted to sweets and sticky substances. Here is how you can ant-proof your property:
You can also seal small holes and cracks and any access points you may find in your home to prevent rodents 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.
