Download or read book Slug Bait written by Mike F Brown and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-07-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry, seventeen, good looking, athletic but vulnerable arrives at half term in a rural state boarding school. His parents have gone abroad for some months. Will he survive the predators: nympho under-matron Virginia, eighteen, the radon treated monster slugs and the over friendly housemaster, Mr Jones? The ruthless Ward, seventeen, and his two cronies, Winnaway and Griffiths provide another threat as Henry explores the wooded park-land. Headmaster Mr Trotman creams off school profits and keeps his staff silent and in their jobs through blackmail. His secret in the cellar should make him very rich, especially with Henry on board. Henry toughens up and enjoys Virginia in the company of his one friend, Martin, a weak member of Wards entourage, whilst trapped by slugs in an old barn. The sub plot of Richard, thirteen, son of craft master Matthew, being surrounded by slugs in the woods and then scared into obedience by Ward and Co in their cave hide-out, adds an additional flavour.

Download or read book Terrestrial Slugs written by A. South and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years slugs have become increasingly important, partly because several species are agricultural and horticultural pests and partly because theyhave proved to be useful experimental animals, particularly in the field of neurophysiology. Most of the early works which included slugs were essentially taxonomic but the book byTaylor (1902-1907) contained a great deal of biological information about slugs, some of which is still relevant today. The publication of the book by Runham and Hunter (1970) represented a milestone in slug research, providing a comprehensive survey of current knowledge about slugs. The book by Godan (1983) on snailsand slugswas mainly concerned with theeconomic importanceof theseanimals. The purpose of the present book is to present a review of current knowledgeofthebiologyandecologyofslugs, togetherwith theirstatusand control as pests. Although relatively little is known about the biology and ecology of tropical slugs and most information is taken from work on European slugs, the European pest species have become widely distributed throughout temperate regions and this book should be of interest world wide. It is written as a source of information for people seeking to control slug pests and, also, for those wishing to use slugs for research or teaching purposes. The book is intended particularly to provide a starting point for those beginning research on slugs and an extensive bibliography has been provided.

Download or read book Georgia Pest Management Handbook written by Emily Cabrera and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia Pest Management Handbook provides current information on selection, application, and safe use of pest control chemicals. This handbook has recommendations for pest control around homes and on pets; for pests of home garden vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals; and for pests of public health interest associated with our homes. Cultural, biological, physical, and other types of control are recommended where appropriate. Pesticide recommendations are based on information on the manufacturer labels and on performance data from research and extension trials at the University of Georgia and its sister institutions. Because environmental conditions, the severity of pest pressure, and methods of application vary widely, recommendations do not imply that performance of pesticides will always be acceptable. This publication is intended to be used only as a guide. Trade and brand names are used only for information. The University of Georgia does not guarantee nor warrant published standards on any product mentioned; nor does the use of a trade or brand name imply approval of any product to the exclusion of others that may also be suitable.
