Book Description
Operating under the premise that it is the activity, not the species, that defines the pest, this handy guide will help you determine if a control method is necessary – and then offers management and control options. The information presented is in keeping with the principles of integrated pest management and offers the widest range possible of both preventive and population reduction methods for common bird, mammal and reptile pests. From cliff swallows to rattlesnakes, bats to voles, deer to woodpeckers, this volume will help you identify, appraise, and monitor your wildlife pest situation.

Book Description
The most numerous of the world's invasive species, rodent pests have a devastating impact on agriculture, food, health and the environment. In the last two decades, the science and practice of rodent control has faced new legislation on rodenticides, the pests' increasing resistance to chemical control and the impact on non-target species, bringing a new dimension to this updated 2nd edition and making essential reading for all those involved in rodent pest control, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners and public health specialists.

Book Description
Birds and small mammals cause losses to crops, damage stored food products, and may be a nuisance in buildings and parks in urban areas. This manual summarises the real risks from these pests and gives practical advice on what can be done, what is worth trying and what is ineffective, and lists the source of various products available. The information, derived from scientific research, is intended mainly for commercial growers, but much of it is useful for home gardeners, warehouse managers, and pest control officers. Throughout this manual the authors stress environmentally friendly control methods, which are usually the most effective for the money spent, help to sustain a healthy living countryside, and are safest to humans.

Book Description
The objective of this multi-authored compendium is, therefore, to bring together the state of arts reported in one place. Written by specialists by specialists in various fields of rondentology, and to suggest future lines of research. It is also felt that this work on rodent pest management will trigger more research effort for the benefit of mankind and help certain countries and organizations in revitalizing serious work in this field which, it appears, has dampened during the last few years.
