Benefits of the Vertebrate Pest Handbook 3rd ed.
Dr. Austin Frishman wrote the 2nd edition using a question and answer format so that information and tips could be grasped quickly with minimal fluff. In other words, it is a 'just the facts' type of publication. Pest management company owners or managers will find the book a useful source of questions useful for training and retraining technicians. The third edition maintains that format, except the answers are not directly below the question but are at the end of the section of question category. This slight format change helps readers think of the answer before reading the answer.
