The Bulldog Ant is one of the biggest types of rodents in Australia and measures about 15-36mm long. It’s also known as Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is red/black and has exceptionally long, straight, distinctive mandibles which make them familiar with substantial 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 original queen.
Practically an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all states. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although 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’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.
Known for its aggressive nature, Bull ants produce an intense, venom-filled sting which causes terrible pain for the victim. They’re horrendous when they feel 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.
On the off chance that you have seen a couple of ants leaving around on the ground, they may be simply looking around. But they may be a sign of a larger ant infestation. Make a point to remember these signs when spotting rodents:
Presence of live ants
If you are seeing large numbers of live ants you might well have an issue. If you find them in your kitchen or in areas where you prepare food, then you want to do something about it quickly. 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 compound attracts other ants to obtain the food.
Ant Nest
A nest site can look like a small pile of dirt or soil. Some species of ant like to make their home in walls or other silent, dark places, which are more difficult to spot.
Most ants come in your property seeking out food. They are attracted to sweets and sticky substances. This is how you can ant-proof your house:
You can also seal small cracks and holes and any access points you can find in your home to prevent ants from gaining entry.
Our pest control technicians understand what is what when it comes to ant deterrents. They understand the customs of various types of ant and can provide the most appropriate and effective solution. They can also help you remove infestations and action around your home or business. It goes without saying that all our remedies are safe for people and pets.
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.
