Abstract
Slow immersion of logs that contained colonies of carpenter ants, Camponotus Pennsylvanicus (De Geer) and Camponotus ferrugineus (F.), in water permitted nearly complete collection of entire colonies. Colonies emigrated freely into laboratory observation nests. Colony removal from recolonized logs was >90% efficient, but varied with the stage examined. This method, although slow, was more efficient and less laborious than the mechanical removal of colonies from sound logs.
