Negative Positive
Title: Rehash of Commonly Available Information
Review: ~Based on the title of this book, I expected to learn something surprising or "ingenious" about controlling ants. Instead, I found an introduction to ants with little style, and techniques of control that are easily (and more cheaply) found in articles on the web or in magazines -- techniques such as keeping your kitchen counters free of food, buying ant baits at the store, and hiring a professional when the invasion gets bad.The book notes that it's important to know the species of ants~~ in order to control them, but it fails to provide sufficient detail about each species to determine what type are in your home. The book also fails to distinguish between species in its recommendations for control.The text is scant and padded with similarly high-level (and thus not terribly useful) information about other pest insects.~
