Described as a "must-have tool" by the IPM Institute of North America, the new Inspector's Field Guide for Pest Identification is specifically designed for IPM coordinators, facility managers, food service inspectors and pest management professionals. The guide identifies 74 of the most common pests likely found around buildings, homes, kitchens and schools in the continental United States including bed bugs, cockroaches, ticks, flies, spiders, rodents and stinging insects. Each pest page contains:
- A color picture of the pest.
- A map of the states where the pest is commonly found.
- A scale and an icon to show the actual size of the pest.
- Lifecycle and other descriptive information.
- Tips on where to search for the pest.
- Public health significance and food safety risks for each pest.
This hand-held (oil- and water-resistant) flip guide is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or a glove compartment of a service vehicle.
