ABSTRACT
The industrial society that emerged at the end of the 1800s began the trend toward global urbanization. The suppression or control of insects such as mosquitoes, house flies and fleas that may adapt to the environments will be a challenge for urban entomologists. The quality of life in the urban environment will be linked to material possessions and the home or living space. Inadequate sanitation and pest control for such large numbers of people in one location may be a major cause of sickness in cities, and a serious drain on urban economics and services. Over the long history of human evolution, various insects and mites have adapted to the unique habitats and conditions created by humans in and around the household. This group of organisms has successfully made the transition from agricultural or natural habitats to the unique human environment. The unique aspect of urban entomology is understanding the interaction of pests and humans in the living space.
