- catalog abstract "This book takes a stand on the fastest-growing threat to our gardens: animal damage. Ecological imbalance and protectionist policies have produced a skyrocketing population of problem animals. Deer alone number thirty times what they did a century ago. With animal-related property losses totaling $3 billion a year, America's summer backyard--suburban and urban--is under siege. But our romanticization of wildlife, the author argues, blinds us to our need for a balance of preservation and control, even elimination. Part I of Backyard Battle Plan is a complete A-to-Z guide that defines the enemy--from beavers to problem birds and coyotes to woodchucks--and discusses the animals' habitats and the diseases they carry. Part Il is a detailed discussion of control methods from fencing to poisoning to hunting. Complete with information boxes and sidebars, this is an honest primer on an issue we dare not keep taboo.--From publisher description.".
