Title

A Worm in the Teacher's Apple: Protecting America's School Children from Pests and Pesticides
Author Marc L. Lame
Date
Description This book illustrates the national problem of pesticide dependence, and outlines proven and cost effective alternatives to the exterminator approach to pest control. It highlights the heroic actions of risk takers in our school and regulatory community, the greedy actions of the pest control industry and the non-action of many, including the USDA, who are charged with protecting our children from pests and pesticides. It awakens concerned parents, teachers, and even pest management professionals to the problem of ineffective pest control with stories of insects, rodents and poison peddlers in our school system.
