For personal close to home advice, would there be a university
Department of Entomology extension service in your city, or a state
Cooperative Extension Service?   Check under that heading in the
State/County phone pages or ask the National Pest Control
Association 573-8330, Fax: 703-573-4116, for a referral to an
extension service in your neighbourhood.
