House Rats and Mice

"House Rats and Mice" by David E. (David Ernest) Lantz is a detailed scientific exploration into the problems caused by common house rodents. The book highlights the extensive damage rats and mice inflict on agriculture and food resources. The author's focus is on educating people on the vital need to manage these creatures by using pest control methods and organized programs. The publication goes into the rodents' destructive behaviors, how they taint food, and how they spread diseases, including statistics on the amount of money lost each year because of them. Lantz gives real-world advice on how to protect food, build structures that rats can't get into, and use traps and poisons the right way. He also makes a push for community involvement, while pushing for the protection of the rodents' predators. This book is a source of information and a cry for homeowners and the community to come together in getting rid of these disturbing pests.
