The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated types of ants 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 scrounges for a protein-based food which dominatingly incorporates different kinds of insects. They likewise appreciate nectar, seeds and organic products. They are also capable of invading other colonies in which the queen could kill the original queen and make captives of the swarms.
As one of the exclusive Australian ant species, they can be found all over the states. Generally, they are found outdoors and assemble their homes underground. They can also build a nest in an drained tree trunk or spoiled log. Their nest is sometimes hard to locate as it includes a little opening which is covered with plants or debris. They will assault any intruder who approaches their home.
Known for its aggressive character, Bull Ants produce a strong, venom-filled sting which causes extreme pain. They are mainly awful once they know their home is at risk. 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 premises, it would be best to call the nearest pest control experts. You can’t just simply manage in removing bull ant’s nest as this requires professional handling. As aforementioned, Bull ants are very aggressive and their stingers are full of venom. However, there are simple things you can do and that’s to look at your surrounding area for tell-tale signs:
Live ants
If you are seeing huge numbers of live ants you might well have a problem. If you find them in your kitchen or in areas in which you prepare food, then you definitely have to do something about it quickly. Ant pathways – in and out of your property or premises are another sign. Some varieties of ants will lay down a pheromone path to a food source. This chemical attracts different ants to locate food.
Ant Nest
A nest site can appear like a little pile of dirt or soil. Some species of ants like to create their domestic in walls or other quiet, dark spots, which is tougher to identify.
Most ants come in your home looking for food. They’re attracted to sweet and sticky substances. Here’s how you could ant-proof your house:
You can also seal small holes and cracks and any access points you can find in your house to prevent rodents from gaining entry.
Our pest control technicians know what is what when it comes to ant deterrents. They understand the habits of various kinds of ant and might provide the most appropriate and effective solution. They also can allow you to take away infestations around your own home or business. We guarantee you that our treatments are human and animal-safe.
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.
