Is something crawling in your walls?
Every home has pests. The difference between a minor nuisance and a full-blown infestation is how quickly you identify the problem and take the right action.

- Use pesticides safely around children and pets - with a complete product guide covering active ingredients, effectiveness, and safety ratings

This book includes over 30 tables and checklists, a pest identification quick reference, a seasonal prevention calendar, a whole-home inspection checklist, a complete cost guide for DIY and professional treatments, and a detailed product guide with active ingredients and safety information.
