Abstract
Some species of carpenter ants nest in wood; in southern Ontario Camponotus pennsylvanicus (DeGeer) is particularly troublesome because of its infestations in older wood-framed homes. The control of these ants is difficult because the nests are located in inaccessible parts of the house. A means of extracting them from their nesting areas would assist in developing simple control procedures. Pheromones were considered as attractants that might be used for this purpose; this report presents the initial findings of morphological and chemical investigations on three species of Camponotus with the results of some bioassays with C. pennsylvanicus.
