Outwitting Ants: 101 Truly Ingenious Methods and Proven Techniques to Prevent Ants from Devouring Your Garden and Destroying Your Home Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best ant books I know of for the general public. Ants are typically regarded negatively as "pests" for a number of reasons, but rarely are ants in or around the home or yard a serious problem.

Pest control businesses and companies that manufacture and sell insecticides have made fortunes on people's fears and misunderstanding of ants. Consequently, far too many people assume that every ant is bad and needs to be doused in poisons.This is absolutely untrue.Although a few species of ants can be a nuisance (sometimes serious)in the house, even ants that may enter the home can usually be controlled through I.P.M (Integrated Pest Management) which in this case is a fancy way of saying A.C.H. or keeping A Clean Home.

Outwitting Ants provides tons of useful information on ants, primarily because it is a book that helps the average person understand ants without having to take a course in insect science.Outwitting Ants givesa rational, sane perspective on the ant/human interface by shedding light on the behavior of ants and and explaining the profound ecological value of ants.

Any book on a widely misunderstood insect that makes many people unnecessarily spray toxic chemicals (many of these widely available products are proven to have adverse effects on humans and animals in very small doses)is a book to be valued.

Before you reach for the spray, buy this book. Outwitting Ants is an easy-to-read, fun little book that anyone can enjoy and learn from. I hope it will be widely read.
