Excellent resource for Integrated Pest Management 3 July 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This book was an invaluable source of information for me when I was writing a proposal to my Homeowner's Association about how we could implement an IPM program in our community. FYI - the Board of Directors of the HOA accepted the proposal and the neighborhood is now a safer place for our residents.

This is not the same as the original 1 Sep 2000

By C. Weyandt - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Although this book sounded like a great reference for home pest control I was mislead. According to the author, this is a companion to the original detailed manual - Common Sense Pest Control. To be able to control specific pests like termites, carpenter ants or pests in the attic, the first book is the one to purchase. I sent my Gardener's Guide back.

The best book on Integrated Pest Management! 25 July 2001

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

The best book for the professional as well as the layman on Integrated Pest Management - from weed control to insect pests. Gives excellent advice and council that goes far beyond the usual "If you can't pick them off, spray them with a chemical." There are many, many sound alternatives to pesticides given as well as information and "where to get it" on the new technologies, as well as the tried and true gardening methods.
