Urban Pest Management

Shannon Staunton — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 06:47:02 +0000

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 colour 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.

Australian Termites

Shows readers the how, which, when, where, what and why of termite and wood borer control.

The previous edition of this highly-regarded and indispensable text is now out-of-date, and the new edition has been refined and rewritten as a full fledged text and reference book for pest-control technicians and the people who train them.

Now including a colour section for easier identification of problem species, it will result in better educated technicians and more precise termite management in the future.

Colonies in Collision

Doug Howick and Ion Staunton were long-term secretaries of the United Pest Control Association, which started back in 1963. They remember meeting the pioneers of pest control and the scientists who shaped the development of termite control products and technique, which continue “to deliver stress relief to anxious homeowners today.” Now octogenarians, these industry stalwarts thought they might be the only two left who could write an entertaining yet accurate history of our industry “while they still had their marbles intact and before they, too, became history.”
