Publisher Description

Bob Dillon is a down-on-his-luck exterminator from Queens who just wants to make a killing with his radical new environmentally friendly pest elimination technique, involving his hybrid assassin bugs (a very real group of insects). But when Bob decides to advertise, his flyer falls into the hands of a European murder-for-hire broker who mistakes Bob for a professional assassin. Before he knows it, Bob's competition targets him for extermination, sending him running for his life from a motley collection of the world's deadliest and most outrageously eccentric contract killers.

"What is a five-star book? Pest Control ain't fine literature. Pest Control is exactly what I needed after finishing the immensely DARK The Road. My first thought, in trying to remove the pall left on me by The Road, turned to Christopher Moore as my possible salvation, but I've read all of his (wish he would write faster!) So I Googled "I like Christopher Moore so I should read" and came up with Bill Fitzhugh as a suggestion. Highly entertaining. Looking forward to reading more of his work."
