This book, containing 15 chapters, aims to highlight approaches to urban pest (including mosquitoes and termites) prevention and control by the judicious use of pesticides. It discusses key strategies for minimizing pesticide use without compromising quality of pest control; foremost among these are strict adherence to the principles of integrated pest management, the adoption of novel technologies (such as use of growth regulators, baits, pheromones, natural products and encapsulated formulations) and enacting effective regulations.
