A professional rat-catcher shares the tricks of his trade, then widens the net to every farmyard raider: fox, otter, badger, polecat, stoat, and the house cat gone wild. Robert Smith explains how each is taken alive or destroyed, in the blunt practical voice of his craft. A vivid glimpse of old-time vermin control. Learn the catcher's hard-won secrets.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
