The only place where they haven\u2019t been established (for now) is Tasmania. Green ants can be extremely dangerous because of their poisonous sting, which can cause a strong allergic reaction that often leads to an anaphylactic shock. So if you are a victim of infestation, don\u2019t waste any time waiting around for the bugs to go away by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will tell you everything about how to recognise the pesky insect, along with the most efficient ways of green ant nest removal and green ant bite treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_recognise_green_ants\">How to recognise green ants<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/what-green-headed-ants-look-like.jpg\" alt=\"Green ant description\" class=\"wp-image-10744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/what-green-headed-ants-look-like.jpg 908w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/what-green-headed-ants-look-like-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/what-green-headed-ants-look-like-768x358.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ching-Chieh Chuang \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Green-head ants aren\u2019t big species, and in length, they range between 5 and 7mm. They have a distinctive, dark metallic complexion that varies from a green-blue tone to a more green-purple one. The shade of the insects depends on the region they are living in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green-head ants can be primarily found in forest regions across the northern parts of Australia, Gladstone in Queensland, and around the Kimberly region in the western parts of the country. Because of how they make their nests and where they locate them, green ants are not fond of highlands and are rarely seen in such places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--warning-blue\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-warning\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Not to be confused with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oecophylla_smaragdina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">green tree ants<\/a> (<em>Oecophylla smaragdina<\/em>), which some residents of Queensland call \u201cgreen ants\u201d.<\/p>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__body -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<p>Green ants are considered fierce predators. They are incredibly protective of their nests and quite aggressive, attacking their victim in swarms. Their metallic sheen often camouflages them well until it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green ants usually hunt for oils and proteins, but they also collect honeydew from many sap-sucking insects, such as aphids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/ants-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"The Ant Species of Australia\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ant-species-in-australia-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Ant Species of Australia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ant-species-in-australia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ant-species-in-australia-292x292.jpg 292w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ant-species-in-australia-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ant-species-in-australia-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"The Ant Species of Australia\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--color-5\">Pest Issues<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/ants-australia\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"The Ant Species of Australia\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Ant Species of Australia\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Green_head_ant_bite_and_symptoms\">Green-head ant bite and symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Green ants have a painful and venomous bite.

Green-head ants create their nests by sticking leaves located at the end of a branch. Nests can be found in various sizes, so don\u2019t be surprised if you spot one big as a human fist or another with the diameter of a soccer ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound like a lot of work, but in reality, the bugs don\u2019t waste too much time building. Some colonies are capable of making a larger nest in less than a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Destroying the nest manually<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple way of dealing with those nests is by destroying them manually. Push the nest to the ground and brush it off. It might sound a bit obvious and pointless, but there is a logic behind this technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green ants don\u2019t enjoy walking on the ground, so once they see that their nest is demolished, they will more likely start to search for another location rather than re-building the house that they\u2019ve lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--warning\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-warning\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>This method is recommended only if the colony is in its early stages of development.<\/p>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__body -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granular ant bait<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find granular ant bait over the counter. Usually, when you put the bait, ants won\u2019t eat it immediately. They will share it with the rest of the colony, spreading the insecticide to places where you can\u2019t reach. With time you will notice that the nest activity is getting lower, which means that the bait worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ant control spray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you should use an ant control spray to keep the bugs from coming back. Apply a concentrated amount of the product to areas where you\u2019ve seen nests and noticed a lot of ant movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, though, that this technique will only affect the ants\u2019 nests in your lawn, but it will not keep the ones coming from the outside from invading your home. There is always the chance that your neighbours\u2019 lawn is also infested, and if you are the only one treating the problem, the ant families from other properties will quickly transfer to your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when you\u2019re looking up how to eradicate green ants, first, we recommend that you consult with your neighbours so that you can coordinate all treatments and achieve maximum results. A complete treatment that includes granular insecticides or a non-repellent spray is considered the most effective and long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/black-house-ants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Black House Ants \u2013 How to Get Rid of Them\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Black-House-Ants-and-How-to-Get-Rid-of-Them-Featured-Image-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Black House Ants - How to Get Rid of Them - Featured Image\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"Black House Ants &#8211; How to Get Rid of Them &#8211; Featured Image\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--color-5\">Pest Issues<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/black-house-ants\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Black House Ants \u2013 How to Get Rid of Them\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBlack House Ants \u2013 How to Get Rid of Them\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Destroying the nest with other insecticides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you are dealing with green ants, be extremely careful about the products and pesticides you choose.
