THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2016 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON URBAN ENTOMOLOGY AND INVASIVE FIRE ANT CONFERENCE MAY 22-25 ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO EDITED BY DR. WAHEED I. BAJWA NEW YORK CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT NCUE/IFA 2016 Proceedings NCUE 2016 SPONSORS Corporate sponsors are essential for promoting a better understanding of the science of urban entomology. Many are repeat sponsors, without whom NCUE would not be possible. BASF Bayer Rollins, Inc. Syngenta Dow AgroSciences | MGK Zoecon Rentokil | CLIMBUP Insect Interceptor FMC Global Specialty Solutions Scotts Miracle-Gro Steritech | Winfield Solutions Rockwell Labs Ltd Entomological Society of America Your continuous support is appreciated! 1 NCUE/IFA 2016 Proceedings Preface This publication reports the proceedings of the National Conference on Urban Entomology and Invasive Fire Ant Conference held in Albuquerque, New Mexico from May 22 to May 25, 2016. The conference included more than 100 scientific presentations and 228 participants, many of whom were students resulting in the productive interactions of the leaders in urban pest control and ultimately a very successful meeting. An important component of the conference is the stimulation of conversation among urban and medical entomologists, pest control specialists, and the industry in order to share information on mutual tasks and to search for ways to effectively and safely control myriad pests that threaten people's homes and health. The participants included researchers, professors, administrators, stakeholders, and industry representatives. Included among the speakers were several young scientists, namely, postdocs and students, who bring new perspectives and insights to the field. The next NCUE will take place in Cary, North Carolina in 2018. Given the rapid pace of scientific advancement in all of the areas covered by NCUE, we expect the future conference to be as stimulating as its predecessors. 2 NCUE/IFA 2016 Proceedings Table of Contents NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON URBAN ENTOMOLOGY AND INVASIVE FIRE ANT CONFERENCE May 22-25, 2016 Albuquerque, New Mexico DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT AWARD TRAILING WITH THE ANTS ......................................................................................................................... 10 JOHN KLOTZ MASTERS DEGREE AWARD IDENTIFICATION OF BOTANICALLY-DERIVED REPELLENTS FOR TURKESTAN COCKROACHES USING A VIDEO TRACKING SYSTEM ....................................................................... 13 SUDIP GAIRE, ALVARO ROMERO, MARY O’CONNELL AND F.
