Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an account of the various species of injurious insects and animals that were observed in the English Midlands in 1906. The writer - a leading expert of the era - begins by detailing his experiments with different insecticides, going into the challenges of finding a universal winter spray that would also act as a fungicide. The bulk of the book moves on to discuss specific pests - such as the Turnip Moth, the Cabbage Gall Weevil and the Apple Sucker - identifying the damage caused, life cycles, and potential methods for prevention and control. An entire chapter is dedicated to the Hop Aphid, a particularly destructive pest of 1906, which provides a case study in the author's approach to analyzing and countering insect threats. The book also includes useful information on combating various pests that affected household goods and commercial products. In total it provides a fascinating entomological snapshot of a bygone era, and shows how some pest problems of the past are still very much with us today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
