About this title

Synopsis

Annual survey of pests in the Midland counties and practical control ideas for 1905

This third report summarizes insect and animal pests observed in the Midlands, offering practical notes for farmers, fruit growers, and foresters. It pairs species profiles with tested remedies, field observations, and cost‑effective management ideas.

The book gathers detailed life histories, damage patterns, and remedial measures for a wide range of pests, from scale insects to beetles and soil pests. It also notes how birds, mammals, and even weather influence pest pressure, with an emphasis on actionable strategies you can apply in orchards, gardens, and hedgerows. Richly illustrated references support the guidance, helping readers recognize problems and choose appropriate responses.

Learn about common pests such as the mussel scale, white woolly currant scale, cockchafer, raspberry beetle, Byturus tomentosus, wireworms, and various leaf miners and aphids.
See tested control methods, including summer and winter sprays, tar bands, stump and pruning strategies, and practical sanitation steps.
Understand life cycles and seasonal timing to target interventions when they’re most effective.
Access notes on using hydrocyanic acid gas and other fumigants, plus safety considerations and preventive measures.

Ideal for readers of agricultural reports, orchard and garden managers, and anyone dealing with pest problems in the Midland counties or looking for historically informed, field‑tested practices.
