Mallis Handbook Provides In-Depth Information for Plant Services

Recently released in its tenth edition, the Mallis Handbook of Pest Control provides an in-depth source of information, applicable to plants with in-house pest management service, as well those who work with third-party providers.

This leading reference source from PCT Media Group, publisher of QA magazine, is a scientific guide and practical aid for the biology, behavior, and control of structural pests. Providing information on effective, environmentally conscious pest management services, the 1,600-page publication is often referred to as “The Bible of the Industry."

"As the industry’s leading reference book for more than half a century, the Mallis Handbook of Pest Control has played a key role in the educational development of the pest management industry,” said PCT Publisher Dan Moreland, who served as editor of the book. “The 10th edition of this important publication represents the most comprehensive effort to date, and continues the tradition of excellence envisioned by industry legend Arnold Mallis in 1945.”

Under the editorial direction of Stoy Hedges, the handbook is written in easy-to-understand language and features 24 chapters written by today’s leading entomologists, consultants, pest management professionals, and university researchers. It includes more than 600 photographs and insect illustrations, with comprehensive insect keys and an expanded color photo identification section.
