| Urban and Industrial Entomology | Research programs in urban and industrial entomology have focused on basic and applied investigations of insect behavior, biology, ecology, and management as these insects impact upon our homes, business establishments, and industrial plants. As our society becomes more urbanized and industrialized, the deficiencies in the present state of entomological knowledge become increasingly important. Through a better basic understanding of the biology, ecology, and genomics of some of the more economically important species, new possibilities for control may be realized. The development and evaluation of new management strategies, materials and equipment are also vital in the protection of our health, welfare, property, and food supplies. At the same time, careful research attention must be given to environmental and sociological parameters so that long-term problems are not created in solving short-term ones. The development of these types of research data will serve the ultimate objective of formulating sound and sustainable pest management strategies. |

| Working with the pest control industry, homeowners, and others on matters pertaining to the management of household and wood-destroying insects is the central focus of my extension appointment. E-series publications, insect ID, the annual Purdue Pest Control Conference, other conferences and workshops, pesticide applicator training, and the curriculum of correspondence courses (currently 6 courses) enable us to address the needs of urban clientele relative to the protection of health, food and property. |
