About the Author

Ion Staunton was a pest management technician before he became the founding secretary of the New South Wales and national pest control associations. His management and organisational skills helped to overcome the competing company wariness of the 1960s so that the industry is now focused on the goal of providing the best possible service for its customers. Ion has since developed a DIY termite monitor and treatment station that, for the first time, allows homeowners to be vitally involved in reducing the threat from nests that surround their homes.
