Message from the Guest Editor

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased  to invite you to submit original research articles or reviews for the Special Issue "Advances in Urban Pest Management in Europe".

The domestic and peri-domestic environment in European cities provides harborage  and  food for insects and  other arthropods   which  are  considered  pests,  either  because they bite, sting, suck blood, transmit parasites and pathogens,  contaminate food, damage wood or fabrics, or because they induce allergies or entomophobia.

This Special Issue aims to report recent advances in urban pest management strategies against household and structural pest insects and other arthropods  encountered in Europe, including synthetic insecticides and repellents, insecticide resistance management, botanical, microbial and biological control agents, nanotechnology, attract and kill strategies, transgenic and biotechnological control methods,  sterile insect technique, modified atmospheres, and others.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
