While this page was written primarily for my articles, please remember that it also applies to any content in my self-published books.
Although most of my guides are fact checked by experts and backed up by non-tertiary references, they are not meant to replace the advice given by certified exterminators (for general pest control), veterinary professionals (for treating pets with bug problems, such as fleas), Entomologists (for insect specific facts, such as “how many eggs can an insert lay per day”) or medical practitioners (e.g. soothing insect bites on your skin).
