Abstract: This how-to-do-it book is written for urban and suburban residents who wish to manage their own pest problems. It is a catalog of selected pests and chemical and natural control alternative strategies. Pest problems that might be encountered anywhere in the United States are described and accompanied by directions for safe, simple treatment methods using chemical and nonchemical techniques. Safe handling and storage of pesticides, pesticide laws and regulations, and exposure, use, and application hazards are discussed. There are four cross-referenced tables of common, trade and chemical names for insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and miscellaneous pesticides and repellents. Directions and materials needed for pesticides and repellents that can be made at home are supplied. A directory of State Cooperative Extension Service offices and sources of pest controls are included.
