Field Mice as Farm and Orchard Pests

"Field Mice as Farm and Orchard Pests" by David E. Lantz is a detailed guide produced by the United States Department of Agriculture that explores the lives and control of meadow and pine mice, highlighting the agricultural problems these critters create on farms and in orchards. The book examines where these rodents live, what they do, and how they reproduce, with a focus on the damage they cause to trees and crops. Lantz shares ways to manage mouse populations, like trapping and using poisons, and also points out that keeping their natural enemies safe, like owls, and changing farming practices plays a big role in keeping things balanced and reducing pest problems.
