Unique, easy to use, filled with pictures and case studies, this is a full but concise guide to the key pests that commonly infest our houses and solutions for dealing with them.David Pinniger’s passion for insects started as a boy when he helped his amateur entomologist father catch, identify and release dragonflies. He started work as a food inspector with the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and then as a research scientist for the MAFF Central Science Laboratory in Slough. In 1996 he became an independent consultant providing specialist advice and training on pests in museums, galleries, archives and historic houses. He is the pest management strategy adviser for English Heritage and advises many national museums, galleries and historic houses in the UK. David is a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. He was awarded the 2008 Plowden Medal for his contribution to preventive conservation and received an MBE in the Queen’s 2008 Birthday Honours list.
