Abstract

If it is accepted that the urban life has taken to us to live more on the 80 of our time in closed spaces would be worth the trouble to ask to us on the idea that is had of ideal inner atmospheres: spaces are wanted safer, cleaner, more healthful and better conditioned. Every time the coexistence with other live organisms beings is accepted of worse way, is wanted to have a free house of germs, insects and rodents, and to it efforts and money are dedicated to manifold. But often one forgets that the control of these undesirable organisms generates new sources of problems. The objective of the work is to analyze the problematic one derived from the presence of pests in urban areas, in special in indoors, their double slope: derived from its presence and associate to the adoption of measures of pest control based on the use of biocides. The adoption of measures at legislative level, the formation of the people implied in the accomplishment of the treatments, the awareness of the population and the update of the concept of pest control constitute the basic elements in the reduction of the risks derived from the use of pesticides in urban environments
