The primary means of reducing or eliminating ant infestations utilizes chemical control, mainly applications of residual insecticides. Control failures with residual insecticides are common, driven in part by a lack of understanding of basic biological and life history characteristics, including interspecific variation in susceptibility to insecticides. The current study evaluated the susceptibility of 12 species of urban pest ants to three classes of insecticides.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Results show significant variation in susceptibility across species. Contrary to the hypothesis of proportionality, no significant relationship was detected between body mass and median lethal time (LT\n                      <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) or time to 100% mortality. The odorous house ant (\n                      <jats:italic>Tapinoma sessile<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) was consistently the least susceptible to all insecticides, as indicated by the highest LT\n                      <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                      values and the greatest amount of time required to reach 100% mortality. Comparatively low susceptibility to commonly used spray insecticides may explain why\n                      <jats:italic>T. sessile<\/jats:italic>\n                      is such a persistent pest.
