520    "From tenements to alleyways to latrines, twentieth-
       century American cities created spaces where pests 
       flourished and people struggled for healthy living 
       conditions. In Pests in the City, Dawn Day Biehler argues 
       that the urban ecologies that supported pests were shaped 
       not only by the physical features of cities but also by 
       social inequalities, housing policies, and ideas about 
       domestic space. Community activists and social reformers 
       strived to control pests in cities such as Washington, 
       D.C., Chicago, Baltimore, New York, and Milwaukee, but 
       such efforts fell short when authorities blamed families 
       and neighborhood culture for infestations rather than 
       attacking racial segregation or urban disinvestment. Pest-
       control campaigns tended to target public or private 
       spaces, but pests and pesticides moved readily across the 
       porous boundaries between homes and neighborhoods. This 
       story of flies, bedbugs, cockroaches, and rats reveals 
       that such creatures thrived on lax code enforcement and 
       the marginalization of the poor, immigrants, and people of
       color. As Biehler shows, urban pests have remained a 
       persistent problem at the intersection of public health, 
       politics, and environmental justice, even amid promises of
       modernity and sustainability in American cities."--Jacket.
