This book provides the first comprehensive coverage of the insect and other arthropod pests
in the urban environment worldwide. Presented is a brief description, biology, and detailed
information on the development, habits, and distribution of urban and public health pests. There are
570 illustrations to accompany some of the major pest species. The format is designed to serve as a
ready-reference and to provide basic information on orders, families, and species. The species coverage
is international and based on distribution in domestic and peridomestic habitats. The references are extensive
and international, and cover key papers on species and groups. The introductory chapters overview the urban
ecosystem and its key ecological components, and a review of the pests status and modern control strategies.
The book will serve as a student textbook, professional training manual, and handbook for the pest control
professionals, regulatory officials, and urban entomologists. It is organized alphabetically throughout.
