Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Bill Adler Jr. has put together a great book filled with useful information on how to deal with troublesome critters in your life, from ants to alligators, ducks to deer, mice to moose! Written with wit and the voice of a true storyteller, the book is not only factual and helpful, but a lot of fun to read. Adler's preference for not using poisons and pesticides is more environmentally friendly, and in the long run, outwitting the bothersome creatures in your life simply works better. --Mark A. Hetts

From Library Journal

Adler, author of Outwitting Squirrels (Chicago Review Pr., 1988) and The Home Remodeler's Combat Manual (HarperCollins, 1991), here includes information on all types of animals, large or small, which can give a conscientious homeowner fits. He covers the basics well, offers comprehensive treatment of the subject, and provides recommendations that are grounded in common sense. Adler employs humor as a reminder that people should not take these tasks too seriously. His methods for capture and removal of creatures are sensitive and humane. An appendix offers a guide to concerned organizations and manufacturers of equipment mentioned in the text. While not captivating reading, this guide will be a useful addition to public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Critter problems? Buy this book., December 1, 2000

This review is from: Outwitting Critters (Paperback)
This is a very well-written and thorough book. Almost every possible creature is covered. Alligators sunbathing in your yard? Termites eating you out of house and home? Bats in your attic? Slugs in your garden? Raccoons getting into your garbage? Coyotes roaming your property.? No matter what critter is causing you a problem, this book offers possible solutions.

Each of these topics is covered in detail. It is apparent that the author has done extensive research to ensure that the information is complete and factual. The book explains what attracts various creatures and what damage they may cause. He also explains how to repel them and/or remove them if they have invaded your house or property. The recommendations provided are non-lethal, environmental-friendly solutions. The book's appendix also lists a wide variety of resources that you can contact to obtain more information or purchase some of the critter control products recommended in the text.

If you have a problem with some kind of critter then this is the book for you.
