From an environmental and health perspective, it is not always practical to spray chemicals indoors or in urban settings, so this work discusses sustainable control and best practice methods for managing insects that are vectors of disease, nuisance pests and the cause of structural damage. The book also covers future technologies which would govern the field of urban pest control. The book brings experts from both academic and industry together to contribute providing a balanced overview of the subject.
A companion to Urban Pest Management, this book builds on the issues of insect pests in urban settings to discuss control strategies that look beyond products.
