OverviewAI-generated summary

Tanja McKay's research focuses on insect pest control and mitigation strategies, particularly concerning stored product insects and disease vectors. Her work has investigated the efficacy of long-lasting insecticide-incorporated netting and interception traps in preventing infestations in large-scale facilities. McKay has also studied the integration of residual contact insecticides with netting to reduce insect dispersal and damage. Additionally, her research has explored alternative methods for insect control, including the assessment of microwave and infrared radiation treatments on agricultural products like rice, examining their effects on quality and insect mortality. Her recent work also includes the molecular detection of specific bacteria in flies associated with agricultural settings and cataloging new insect species records in Arkansas.
