Publisher's Summary

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.

Critic Reviews

"[An] hilarious comic thriller... offbeat, engaging, and very funny reading." ( Washington Post)
" Pest Control is an eccentrically comic take on the high-tech thriller...[it is a] strange and funny...curiously appealing little novel of intrigue." (NPR's All Things Considered)
"Fitzhugh does for New York what Carl Hiaasen did for Miami." ( The Times London)
