The smokybrown cockroach, Periplaneta fuliginosa (Serville), has become an increasingly important peridomestic pest throughout much of the southeastern United States, Japan, and southeast Asia. We provide a brief description of the species and clarify its worldwide distribution. Aspects of smokybrown cockroach behavior, biology, ecology, and physiology are discussed in the context of this species' successful exploitation of the urban environment. We describe smokybrown cockroach management based upon a model that relates house and landscape characteristics to cockroach population size. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of a model-based IPM system that increases control while reducing use of insecticides.
烟褐色蜚蠊（Periplaneta fuliginosa (Serville)）在美国东南部大部分地区、日本和东南亚的许多地方已成为越来越重要的居家周边害虫。我们简要描述了该物种，并阐明了其全球分布情况。在该物种对城市环境的成功利用背景下，讨论了烟褐色蜚蠊的行为、生物学、生态学和生理学方面。我们基于一个将房屋和景观特征与蜚蠊种群规模相关联的模型来描述烟褐色蜚蠊的管理。最后，我们展示了一个基于模型的综合虫害管理系统的有效性，该系统在减少杀虫剂使用的同时增强了防治效果。
