Introduction to pest control
The publisher Pestium offers a practical reference work that provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated production of pests, insects and mammals, which can be found indoors, not only in Great Britain, but throughout Europe. Particular emphasis has been placed on the tracks that the animals leave and the possible damage they cause. Pestium does not only cater to the private homeowner and tenant; it is also a practical tool for anyone who, in their profession and during their work, encounters problems related to pests in homes, shops, warehouses and factories, whether they are animals that bite and sting, destroy food and materials – or are quite harmless. The pages can be used as references that base the determinations of the animals and their tracks on characteristics that can be seen with the naked eye or a good magnifying glass.
