The Best of Pest Jests and Other Tails

The Best of Pest Jests draws on cartoons, jokes, quotes, and stories to relay the most memorable moments – "the amusing, funny, or just plain stupid" – of the author's five decades in pest control. Through both personal accounts (a brush with the "Norwegian Mafia") and second-hand tales (a fellow exterminator's ghost-busting experience), Harold Leyse follows the changes, challenges, and evolution of pest control. The coupling of pest cartoons with Harold's dry, sometimes self-directed, humor is sure to kindle memories and evoke laughter from anyone who has ever provided pest control services, had a pest control service performed, or even tried to drive out a single cockroach, mouse, or bat from their home or business.
