The success of chemical control depends on toxicity of insecticides against insect pests. Camponotus sericeus is an important urban pest with the ability to cause substantial damage to wooden structures, but there is a lack of information on toxicity of insecticides against C. sericeus. To determine the insecticide toxicity, workers of C. sericeus were exposed to 17 insecticides from different classes: carbamate (methomyl, bendiocarb), organophosphate (chlorpyrifos, profenofos, temephos), pyrethroid (bifenthrin, deltamethrin, permethrin), neonicotinoid (acetamiprid, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam), avermectin (abamectin, emamectin), pyrrole (chlorfenapyr), phenylpyrazole (fipronil), and spinosyn (spinosad and spinetoram), via residual bioassay method. The LC₅₀ ranged from: 0.15 to 0.20 µg/vial for carbamates, 0.09 to 0.27 µg/vial for organophosphates, 0.09 to 0.44 µg/vial for pyrethroids, 0.02 to 0.67 µg/vial for neonicotinoids, 0.54 to 0.82 µg/vial for avermectins, 0.78 µg/vial for pyrrole, 0.62 µg/vial for phenylpyrazole, and 1.96 to 2.05 µg/vial for spinosyns. Overall, acetamiprid was the most toxic one among the tested insecticides followed by permethrin, temephos, profenofos, bendiocarb and methomyl, while spinosad and spinetoram were the least toxic insecticides. Considering the potential toxicity of different insecticides against C. sericeus, future studies could investigate the practical application of these insecticides in order to design an effective management plan.

化学控制的成功取决于杀虫剂对害虫的毒性。弯喜桔（Camponotus sericeus）是一种重要的城市害虫，具有对木质结构造成实质性破坏的能力，但是缺乏有关杀虫剂对弯孢梭菌的毒性的信息。为了确定杀虫剂的毒性，S。sericeus的工人暴露于17种不同类别的杀虫剂：氨基甲酸酯（甲基苄基，苯达威威），有机磷酸酯（毒死rif，普罗诺非福，坦弗非），拟除虫菊酯（联苯菊酯，溴氰菊酯，苄氯菊酯），新烟碱（乙酰胺，吡虫啉） ，噻虫嗪），阿维菌素（阿维菌素，阿莫菌素），吡咯（氯芬那吡），苯基吡唑（氟吡尼）和多杀菌素（多杀菌素和多杀菌素），通过残留生物测定方法。LC_50的范围从：氨基甲酸酯为0.15至0.20 µg /小瓶，有机磷酸盐为0.09至0.27 µg /小瓶，拟除虫菊酯为0.09至0.44 µg /小瓶，新烟碱类为0.02至0.67 µg /小瓶，阿维菌素为0.54至0.82 µg /小瓶，0.78吡咯为µg /小瓶，苯基吡唑为0.62 µg /小瓶，多杀菌素为1.96至2.05 µg /小瓶。总体而言，在测试的杀虫剂中，对乙酰氨基酚的毒性最高，其次是苄氯菊酯，temephos，profenofos，bentocarba和methhomyl，而spinosad和spinetoram的毒性最低。考虑到不同杀虫剂对丝虫的潜在毒性，未来的研究可以研究这些杀虫剂的实际应用，以设计有效的管理计划。
