Description
For 23 years and through four editions, “Urban Pest Management in Australia” has been the major reference work for Australian pest control operators. This fifth edition has been extensively revised to support the constantly evolving pest management industry. It features an accessible new format, fully updated chapters, additional color plates and extra content, including a new section on putting pest control into practice. Ion Staunton draws on his 50 years of industry knowledge to bring Gerozisis and Hadlington’s pest management ‘bible’ to a new generation of technicians. Ion Staunton was a pest management technician before he became the founding secretary of the New South Wales and national pest control associations. His management and organisational skills helped to overcome the competing company wariness of the 1960s so that the industry is now focused on the goal of providing the best possible service for its customers. Ion has since developed a DIY termite monitor and treatment station that, for the first time, allows homeowners to be vitally involved in reducing the threat from nests that surround their homes.
