Emphasizing urban and industrial pest problems, chapters cover such topics as managing insects, other arthropods, and vertebrate pests in homes, businesses, hospitals, industrial plants and municipal buildings; the ins and outs of the industry; and sanitation, fumigation, and other management methods. Several appendices detail specific techniques. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
