| Tóm tắt: | The resettlement of humans on earth has never taken place as rapidly as it is
doing now. As little as 1% of the earth's total land mass is used as urban
centres (cities) and these cities, astoundingly, carry 50% of the world's
population. Urban centres are extremely well suited to a group of insects which
have associated their lives with humans and their activities. These urban insects
cause pain, annoyance, emotional distress, disability and damage as a result of
bites, stings and physical reactions, in addition to a plethora of diseases and
other damage. The purpose of this book is to highlight approaches to urban
pest prevention and control by the judicious use of pesticides. The increasing
use of pesticides requires that the adverse effects arising from their use do
not outweigh the risks posed by pests. Long-term pesticide use has been
documented to cause adverse health effects in humans, and particularly in
children. The book 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 (IPM), the adoption
of novel technologies and enacting effective regulations. |
