In-Depth Information
insecticides will be replaced with products
that are highly selective and specifi cally
target select insect groups or even specifi c
species. Broadcast applications will be
phased out and replaced with localized
treatments. New, highly effective biological
agents will be discovered and utilized on a
larger scale. Genetic pest management will
continue to evolve and will become more
widely adopted in urban situations. New
classes of insecticides as well as improved
formulations will offer increased pest
management with decreased pesticide use.
Improved baits, attractants, traps and detec-
tion devices will facilitate improvements in
urban pest management. Above all, the
greatest advancement of the pest manage-
ment industry will undoubtedly come from
more effective communication among stake-
holders involved in urban pest manage-
ment. Taken together, these developments
will allow for better integration of
knowledge and practice in urban pest
management.
