Urban Entomology

 


Urban entomology focuses on arthropod pests that cause nuisance, economic damage and public health concerns in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Fundamental research addresses the behavior, physiology, ecology and genetics of urban insects, particularly cockroaches, termites and ants, while applied projects integrate novel and established technologies with the goal of providing economically feasible and environmentally sound management solutions.
