Pest Control Simplified for Everyone

Abstract

Why call an exterminator? Save thousands of dollars every year. Protect your family and property, and keep yourself safe from disease. This guide will teach you the art of responsible pest elimination.

Have you stared at shelves of pesticides wondering which to buy, which are safe, which treatment will eliminate your pest, and how to apply it? If so, this book is for you. You only lack the trade secrets and the knowledge, such as safe application methods, how to prevent an attack in the first place, when killing is not necessary, and how all of this affects our environment.

Before you buy your next can of bug spray, before you get bitten again, before you buy or sell a house, or before you go outdoors, read this book and learn how to:

- Kill all types of household and yard pests
- Select the appropriate pesticides and use them safely
- Kill responsibly; Kill without chemicals
- Affordably protect your home or apartment from pests

YOU are smarter than a bug!
