Truman's Scientific Guide to Pest Control Operations

A multipurpose guide written as a series of lessons for those enrolled in the Purdue correspondence course on pest control technology. The text also serves as a reference and as a resource for people seeking state certification as commercial pesticide applicators. 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.
