Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. There are two mosquito problems and almost everything written about them treats it as one. That is why nothing you bought has worked.Something bites you at dusk. It came from a ditch, a storm drain, or a neglected pool three houses down, and it flew a long way to reach you. You are not solving that one from your own yard, and anybody who says otherwise is selling a subscription.Something else bites your ankles at two in the afternoon while you are weeding. That one is different. It breeds in containers, a bottle cap holds enough water, and it barely travels. The daytime mosquitoes in your yard came out of something you own.Nobody sent them. They hatched in the saucer under your fern, in the fold of the tarp, in the corrugated downspout extension nobody has looked inside since it was installed. Find every one of those and that population is gone, because there is no reservoir upstream to refill it.LICENSE TO SQUISH: MOSQUITOES is a field manual for the half of this problem you can actually finish.Inside: Which mosquito you have, told by the clock rather than by markingsThe container audit: thirty places water hides on an ordinary lot, including the ones nobody checksWhy dumping is half the job and scrubbing is the other halfBTI, the few-dollar product that kills larvae and almost nothing else, which most people have never heard ofThe twenty dollar box fan that outperforms a four hundred dollar spray seasonWhy the three-week service interval is exactly how long your own gutter takes to refill the yardHeartworm, and why the container audit is dog protectionMonth-by-month calendar and a five-zone regional guideEvery tactic comes with the reason it works. Every claim gets a verdict: CONFIRMED, BUSTED, or PLAUSIBLE WITH CONDITIONS. Bug zappers, citronella, mosquito-repelling plants, mosquitofish, and the two famous claims about bats and purple martins each get one, and several of the answers will annoy somebody.No symptom lists. No treatment advice. Buckets and window screens, and then a doctor.A flashlight, a stiff brush, a drill, and fifteen minutes a week. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. You don't have a tick problem. You have a moisture problem, a mouse problem, and a deer problem, and they answer different questions.A tick is mostly water and has no way to drink. It cannot fly, cannot chase you, and spends over ninety percent of its life sitting in leaf litter trying not to dry out.That one fact explains everything about where ticks are on your property. Why the shaded woods edge is loaded and the sunny mowed lawn fifteen feet away is nearly empty. Why the north side of the house is worse than the south. And why the most effective tool you own is a rake.Almost every book on this subject answers "how do I not get Lyme disease." That is a real question. It is not the one most people have, which is simpler: I would like fewer ticks in my yard, and I would like nothing attaching to me or my dog.LICENSE TO SQUISH: TICKS is a field manual written as an intelligence dossier, and it separates the levers most books collapse into one. Habitat gives you fewer ticks. Mice give you fewer ticks that matter. Only one of those is free.Inside: Why ticks die of thirst, and how to use that against them with a saw and a rakeSurvey your own property with a bedsheet, so you know whether the work is workingThe three-foot barrier that stops them crossing into the lawnTwo full chapters on the dog: the daily check by body region, and how ticks get from the edge of the yard onto your couchPermethrin on socks, and the reason it is the highest-value thing you can do for yourselfWhy the dryer kills them and the washing machine does not, and why you should dry firstRemoval in four seconds, and every folk method that makes it worseWhat permethrin does to cats, in a chapter instead of a footnoteMonth-by-month calendar and a five-zone regional guide by speciesEvery tactic comes with the reason it works. Every claim gets tested and stamped: CONFIRMED, BUSTED, or PLAUSIBLE WITH CONDITIONS. Tick tubes, 4-posters, guinea fowl, diatomaceous earth, ultrasonic repellers, and the opossum meme each get a verdict, and several of the answers will annoy somebody.No symptom lists. No diagnostic guidance. No treatment opinions. This book covers the yard, the clothing, and the removal, and then it sends you to a doctor holding the tick in a bag with a date on it.No eradication promises. No subscription. A rake, a bedsheet, some wood chips, and a pair of tweezers. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. You don't have a lanternfly problem. You have a tree of heaven problem with a lanternfly symptom.Nobody smuggled this insect into the country. Somebody bought rocks.Egg masses rode a shipment of landscaping stone out of China around 2012, cleared inspection looking like dried mud on a pallet, and bred undetected in Pennsylvania for two years before anyone reported them. A decade later they're in nineteen states.Most advice about them is useless. Government fact sheets have the emotional temperature of a parking ticket. The internet will tell you to spray vinegar, hang a bag of water, or buy a device that emits a frequency insects hate. And almost none of it mentions the one thing that actually decides how bad your summer goes: the invasive tree in your yard that this insect prefers above all others.LICENSE TO SQUISH is a field manual written as an intelligence dossier, because the facts of this insect happen to be military in shape. One generation per year, so killing the eggs is a supply raid. Terrible fliers, so every mile they've traveled a human drove them. A single preferred host, so there's a supply line you can cut.Inside: Positive ID for all five stages, and the harmless natives people kill by mistakeWhy cutting down a tree of heaven multiplies it, and the September window when herbicide actually reaches the rootsThe trap tree sequence, so survivors don't scatter onto your grapesEgg scraping: an hour in February beats a season in AugustCircle traps you can build for under twenty dollarsWhat comes off a sticky band besides lanternflies, and why this book bans bare adhesive outrightHoneydew, sooty mold, and getting it off decks, siding, and car paint before it etchesGrapevine recovery: why a vine that died in February was killed the previous AugustWhat to plant in the hole so nothing invasive fills itMonth-by-month campaign calendar and a five-zone regional guideEvery tactic comes with the reason it works. Why phloem runs downward in late summer. Why one generation a year is this insect's greatest weakness. Why native predators took ten years to start eating them, and what you can do to avoid killing the ones that finally did.Claims from the internet get tested and stamped: CONFIRMED, BUSTED, or PLAUSIBLE WITH CONDITIONS. Ultrasonic repellers, vinegar spray, chickens, power washing egg masses, and "they're killing all the trees" each get a verdict.No eradication promises. No products to buy. A putty knife, a roll of window screen, and one correctly timed afternoon in September.Go look at your rocks. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
