10th International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP)
September 13 - 15, 2020
Barcelona, Spain
The conference is, once again, to be held in Europe and will take place from September 13 -15, 2020 at the prestigious Pompeu Fabra University, in Barcelona, Spain.
As at previous ICUP conferences, the programme will address the science and management of a wide variety of urban pests and vectors, including those of hygiene, structural and medical importance. Pests of rising significance, which have caused researchers to revaluate management practices and the future direction of urban pest control will be addressed. The impact of regulatory and stewardship challenges will also be included.
In addition to the main conference sessions, there will be break-out sessions and workshops, as well as the ever popular conference dinner. Equally important are the informal networking times when views are freely exchanged between delegates and friendships formed.
Details regarding delegate registration and how to offer a paper for consideration by the organising committee will be announced in the near future when the ICUP 2020 website goes live.
Presentations from the previous conferences can be found on the central ICUP website at www.icup.org.uk.
This will be the tenth in the series of ICUP conferences. The previous conferences have been held in Cambridge, England (1993), Edinburgh, Scotland (1996) Prague, Czech Republic (1999), Charleston, USA (2002), Singapore (2005) Budapest, Hungary (2008), Ouro Preto, Brazil (2011), Zurich, Switzerland (2014) and Aston, Birmingham, UK in 2017.
Offers of presentations for ICUP 2020 sought
The organisers of the next International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) to be held in Barcelona, Spain are inviting all those working, or researching, within the field of urban pest management to offer an abstract detailing their work to the organising committee.

The deadline for offers of abstracts is 16 September 2019.
ICUP 2020 will take place from September 13 - 15 at the Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Campus de la Ciudadela in Barcelona, Spain.
The 10th in this highly popular series of non-profit events aims to offer a diverse programme that combines classical urban pest topics with new ideas and projects. The objective is to provide a stimulating scientific and technical forum on urban pest management. The programme will be aimed at the scientists and pest control professionals that come to Barcelona to share their work and meet their friends and colleagues.
Sessions will cover:

May 10, 2016
Pest control associations and companies are invited to the first International Symposium of Associations on May 10, 2016, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the years, representatives of ANECPLA, ECA and NPMA have exemplified and promoted professionalization of the pest control sector. The few national pest control associations in Latin American countries are relatively new and many countries do not have this resource for professional growth of the companies and the industry. Historically, partnerships with NPMA, ANECPLA, and ECA have been key elements in the growth of this sector. All associations and companies who are interested in working for the common good and professional growth of the pest control sector are invited to participate in a meeting on May 10th 2016, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Dear IPM House Friends:
For anyone who has considered becoming an Associate Certified Entomologist, but feels a little intimidated about the exam, this next IPM House class is for you. On December 12 and 13 we are offering a two-day ACE prep class at the Texas A&M AgriLife facility in Dallas. Preregistration cost is $60 and you can register online here https://agriliferegister.tamu.edu/productListingDetails/2996
The ACE prep class is especially designed to help anyone prepare for the ACE exam; but it also provides a broad introduction to the science behind pest control. We have found that even new technicians can benefit from the class as it provides a comprehensive review of common structural insect pests and their biology.
The course outline provides a concise, well-rounded overview of the science of entomology and of the major pests that a PMP must know for the ACE exam. There is 10+ hours of intensive classroom training and lab training with microscopes. You do not have to be pre-approved as an ACE candidate to take the Prep Class; however, it does serve as an excellent review and confidence booster for candidates who have been preparing for the exam. The exam will be offered at the end of the class to anyone who has applied for certification and paid the examination fee. Students wanting to sit for the exam are responsible for making arrangements with ESA prior to the class.
Class topics include:
• Introduction to the ACE program • Intro to insect biology, morphology and classification • Ants: Inspection and identification • Biting and stinging pests: Inspection and identification • Cockroaches: Inspection and identification • Flies: Inspection and identification • Occasional invaders: Inspection and identification • Stored product pests: Inspection and identification • Wood destroying insects: Inspection and identification • Integrated pest management concepts • The science of insecticides • Pesticides safety, laws and labels • Laboratory identifications: ants, stored product pests, others.
What is the ACE program?
Achieving the title of “Associate Certified Entomologist” (ACE) is one of the top professional achievements for a pest management professional. The ACE certification program is overseen by the Entomological Society of America and is available to anyone with five years of experience in the pest control industry. The successful applicant must also be willing to subscribe to the ACE Code of Ethics, and be able to pass the certification exam. For more information about the program, see https://www.entocert.org/ace-certification
Class size is limited to 30. Registration offers you an option to purchase a copy of the ACE Study Guide for standard applicant price of $49. Snacks and water are provided; lunch is on your own. Up to 4 CEU credits will be available for those providing license numbers. If you have additional questions, please contact Sharon Harris at 972-952-9201 or via email at SRHarris@ag.tamu.edu

Counterfeit pesticides are illegal but oftentimes are extremely hard to spot because they are produced and packaged to look identical to legal products. However, the contents in the package are not accurate and may have less active ingredients than advertised or even have different ingredients that are cheaper or may be more toxic. It’s important to be aware of these products to keep customers and the environment safe. This session will cover the signs of counterfeit products and how you can help protect your company from potentially using these harmful products.

Spring is waiting in the wings and talk is turning back to termites. Although more and more consumers are beginning to understand the threats these voracious pests pose, the Professional Pest Management Alliance (PPMA), which serves as the public outreach arm of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), knows the importance of keeping consumers engaged in this important dialogue. During Termite Awareness Week, March 8th to 14th, 2020, PPMA is encouraging the industry to take part in the annual observance and use PPMA’s marketing materials to teach consumers about the importance of protecting against termites.

10th International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP)
September 13 - 15, 2020
Barcelona, Spain
The conference is, once again, to be held in Europe and will take place from September 13 -15, 2020 at the prestigious Pompeu Fabra University, in Barcelona, Spain.
As at previous ICUP conferences, the programme will address the science and management of a wide variety of urban pests and vectors, including those of hygiene, structural and medical importance. Pests of rising significance, which have caused researchers to revaluate management practices and the future direction of urban pest control will be addressed. The impact of regulatory and stewardship challenges will also be included.
In addition to the main conference sessions, there will be break-out sessions and workshops, as well as the ever popular conference dinner. Equally important are the informal networking times when views are freely exchanged between delegates and friendships formed.
Details regarding delegate registration and how to offer a paper for consideration by the organising committee will be announced in the near future when the ICUP 2020 website goes live.
Presentations from the previous conferences can be found on the central ICUP website at www.icup.org.uk.
