Berkeley. 2001. University of California Press. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520221079. Line drawings by Courtlandt Johnson. 268 pages. paperback. keywords: Pests Ecology. DESCRIPTION - Every year Americans use a staggering five hundred million pounds of toxic pesticides in and around their homes, schools, parks, and roads-a growing health risk for people and the environment. But are these poisons really necessary? This book, appealing to the hunter in us all, shows how to triumph in combat with pests without losing the war to toxic chemicals. Tiny Game Hunting, written in a lively and entertaining style and illustrated with detailed drawings, gives more than two hundred tried-and-true ways to control or kill common household and garden pests without using toxic pesticides. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Writer Klein and University of California professor of natural history Wenner here scope out household and garden pests--from ants and cockroaches to fleas, flies and houseplant pests, rabbits and aphids, gophers, beetles and slugs. And they happily take the sting--or bite--out of the subject (who'd really want to read about roaches and slugs?) with restorative wit. Duly noted: 'We especially like the idea of turning cutworms into little wooden mummies.' And they explain how to do it. Among the environmentally friendly, homemade remedies recommended, bug juice, they allow, has created 'some controversy. probably because it is so inherently disgusting.' (The authors wisely suggest recruiting for this purpose a blender that is no longer in use in the kitchen.) But more 'tasteful' sprays are also heralded--garlic, mint--in the battle with aphids and cabbageworms. Any and all information on cockroaches will be appreciated by city dwellers, including keeping a gecko, a tropical lizard 'said to be able to clear an apartment of roaches in a few weeks.' Illustrated. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review 'This commensensical, well-organized book details more than 200 non-chemical methods for dealing with insect pests.' -- Toronto Globe & Mail inventory #40833.…
