Overview
Are bugs and rodents becoming a real problem in your home and garden? Wouldn't it be great if you could find a way to get rid of those pesky critters without endangering your health and that of your family and pets through the use of chemical pesticides? Well, now you can. BUG BUSTERS was specially designed to offer sensible solutions for people who want better alternatives. Now in its third edition, BUG BUSTERS provides dozens of easy, environmentally safe methods - using inexpensive equipment and supplies commonly found in most homes - for keeping your household free of pests. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book combines traditional time-proven pest controls with the latest findings from the Disease Control centres and university research. Also included are some new and innovative techniques for safely eradicating vermin. The ecologically sound methods described are more effective than chemical pesticides in the long run because they kill or repel only the pest they are designed to work against - leaving natural predators unharmed - and because insects cannot build up an immunity to them. Even when a chemical pesticide or exterminator may be your only recourse, as with termite infestation, BUG BUSTERS tells you how to find a competent professional and how to properly handle and dispose of chemical pesticides. At a time when literally thousands of adults and children are treated yearly for pesticide mishaps, BUG BUSTERS provides important information for those individuals concerned with safe and intelligent pest control.
