Common Sense Pest Control

Least-Toxic Solutions for Your Home, Garden, Pets and Community
William Olkowski, et al

The big, definitive book on safer pest controls.

700 pages of information from some of the most knowledgeable people in the field. Complies their years of experience at the Bio-Integral Research Center. Though it is expensive to purchase, it is thorough. It's the first book I reach for whenever I need to solve a pest problem, or someone asks me what to do to control a particular pest.

Natural Insect Repellents

For Pets, People, and Plants
Janette Grainger and Connie Moore

Ancient and safe natural pest control methods.

What I like best about this book is that it isn't about killing insects we perceive as pests, but rather getting them to leave us alone. This thoughtful book contains easy-to-follow instructions for plant-based repellents you can make at home.
