BOOK OF THE MONTH: Amiable but authoritative ... exceptionally readable, but imbued with a powerful sense that 'Bugman Jones' is a man who'd discuss tapeworms enthusiastically at dinner.

...a new book House Guests, House Pests: A Natural History of Animals in the Home, by the distinguished entomologist Richard Jones. His enthusiasm is persuasive.

Horatio Clare, Country Life

Jones, a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, is a learned guide to this alarming panoply of intruders, from the bacon beetle (Dermestes lardarius), a vagrant of old-fashioned larders, to the noisy edible dormouse (Glis glis), which can infest the attics of rural houses.

Barbara Kiser, Nature
