The Principal Household Insects Of The United States: With A Chapter On Insects Affecting Dry Vegetable Foods (1896) is a comprehensive guide to the various types of insects that commonly infest American households, as well as those that affect dry vegetable foods. The book was written by Leland Ossian Howard, an American entomologist who was a leading authority on insect pests during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the most common household insects, including ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, and various types of beetles and moths. Each insect is described in detail, with information on its appearance, behavior, life cycle, and methods of control.The second section of the book is devoted to insects that affect dry vegetable foods, such as flour, meal, and grain. These pests include weevils, moths, and beetles, and the chapter provides information on their identification, life cycle, and control methods.Throughout the book, Howard provides practical advice on how to prevent and control insect infestations in the home and in food storage areas. He also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to aid in the identification of different insects.Overall, The Principal Household Insects Of The United States: With A Chapter On Insects Affecting Dry Vegetable Foods is a valuable resource for anyone interested in pest control or the history of entomology in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
