===Urban=== Urban forensic entomology typically concerns pest infestations in buildings, gardens, or other urban environments, and may be the basis of litigation between private parties and service providers such as landlords or exterminators.<ref name="Catts">{{cite journal | vauthors = Catts EP, Goff ML | title = Forensic entomology in criminal investigations | journal = Annual Review of Entomology | volume = 37 | pages = 253β272 | date = January 1992 | pmid = 1539937 | doi = 10.1146/annurev.en.37.010192.001345 | s2cid = 37652159 }}</ref> For instance, urban forensic entomology can be used to evaluate the efficiency of pest control techniques, ascertain the size of an infestation, and identify the responsible party in situations involving infestations in rental homes. Urban forensic entomology studies may also indicate the fitness of certain pesticide treatments. Urban forensic entomology can also assist in determining liability when stored goods, like grains or packaged foods, are contaminated with insects, helping to identify the infestation's origin. These techniques may be used in stored products cases where they can help to determine the chain of custody, when all points of possible infestation onset are examined to determine who is at fault.<ref>Bledsoe 2008, personal interview</ref> Moreover, environmental management and public health depend heavily on urban forensic entomology. Researchers can track the transmission of disease carried by insects by examining insect populations in urban settings. Forensic techniques can also guide conservation efforts by evaluating the environmental effects of urbanization on insect populations.
