In the last two decades, the science and practice of rodent control has faced new legislation on rodenticides, the pests' increasing resistance to chemical control and the impact on non-target species, bringing a new dimension to this updated 2nd edition and making essential reading for all those involved in rodent pest control, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners and public health specialists. 606 $aRodents$xControl 615 0$aRodents$xControl. 676 $a628.9 676 $a628.9693 702 $aBuckle$b A.
