Abstract
The insecticidal properties of proinsecticides fipronil, indoxacarb, and methomyl were studied against the colonies of Pharaoh ant. It was found that sugar food baits based on fipronil or indoxacarb are effective against colonies of Pharaoh ant in the concentration ranges 0.001–0.1 % and 0.1–1.0 %, respectively. Baits based on 1 % methomyl are also highly effective. In the presence of alternative food, the mortality of workers and queens was reduced. The food attractiveness of ant baits should be increased by introducing honey, peanut butter, and other attractants. Keywords: proinsecticides, fipronil, indoxacarb, methomyl, baits, Pharaoh ant.
