Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discipline of urban entomology encompasses a wide range of topics related to management of pests in and around buildings. The stakeholders in the urban entomology community include property owners, pest management professionals, regulatory officials, professional associations, manufactures of tools and products, and academicians (both research and outreach). This special issue welcomes contributions from any and all urban stakeholders on topics related to the identification, biology, and management of arthropod and vertebrate pests in the built environment as well as regulation, training, and education on pest management in the indoor biome.
