Abstract

A Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed to evaluate its utility in an eradication program of common crupina. Infested areas were recorded in the GIS along with information normally found on United States Geological Survey topographic maps. Infested areas were separated into management areas according to possible treatment method and special environmental or health requirements such as proximity to streams or inhabited buildings. The location, size, and type of each management area were recorded in the database. The database was constructed to maintain treatment and efficacy data for tracking the process of eradication for each infestation. Areas were identified for detection surveying, including coordinates for navigating with a global positioning system (GPS).
