Pharaoh's ant2 (Monomorium pharaonis Linn) is the smallest, reddishbrown ant, the most frequent ant invader, and the most difficult ant to eradicate of all species of ants occurring in Kansas homes. Several local invasions have proved to be very difficult to eradicate. The question arose as to whether there had been suggested any good control methods for this species other than those being used against them. In order to have available the widely scattered information about the life history, habits and control of this ant, it was decided to prepare a summary of the important available published accounts. It is believed that this paper includes all information of importance which has been published to date on this ant. Little attempt has been made to quote the author first suggesting any point of life history or control.
