Yeah, that sort of encounter is one you don't forget in a hurry. And bull ants are on my list of things to kill on sight. In Perth, I used to pour over-strength chlorpyrifos down their nest. And then boiling water. A 3cm long ant is just too big.
A pity they banned chlorpyrifos - I plucked it off a shelf at Bunnings one day. The health warning just said "TOXIC". Apparently 5mL in 500L of water can kill a horse! Awesome stuff!
