This is the first book to review the influence of climate change on urban and public pests such as mosquitoes, flies, termites, ticks and rodents, with respect to population, distribution, disease, damage and control.

It thematically addresses how climate change impacts on pests differently in urban than natural areas, focusing on increased temperatures of urban locations, the effect of natural disasters, the manner of land use and human habitation. Climate Change Impacts on Urban Pests presents up-to-date knowledge for researchers in urban pests, entomology, and public health, scientists and policy makers involved in climate change, and urban pest management specialists.
