Tells how to control birds, rodents, wild animals, dogs, cats, and insects without using chemicals

A former Master Gardener, Rhonda Massingham Hart is the author of such books as Bugs, Slugs & Other Thugs, Deer Proofing Your Yard & Garden, Squirrel Proofing Your Home & Garden and Dirt-Cheap Gardening, as well as Easter Eggs--By the Dozens!, You Can Carve Fantastic Jack-O-Lanterns, North Coast Roses, and Trellising. She has also written many bulletins. Rhonda has been published in a variety of magazines, including Flower & Garden, Woman's Day Better Living Series and Fine Gardening magazines. Her desire to deer- and squirrel-proof comes from her mutual respect for people and animals and from a desire to incorporate wildlife into our yards and lives. She has lectured extensively on pest proofing and organic gardening techniques and taught continuing adult education classes at her local community college. Bugs and dirt are in her blood!

Rhonda is also Co-Publisher and Editor of "The Gaited Horse", a national magazine covering all breeds of gaited horses. She lives in Washington with her children, Lance and Kailah, and her new husband Daymond and his daughter, Sarah.
