"Since it is known that spotted fever is communicated from wild animals to human beings by the bite of infected wood ticks and that the two younger stages live almost entirely on small native rodents -- from which they occasionally contract the infection -- it is evident that these tick hosts should be destroyed, at least around ranches. The extensive damage done by the same animals to agricultural interests is another important reason for their destruction. The chief purpose of this publication is to point out the best methods of destroying these native animals." -- p. 6. Among the rodents discussed in the bulletin are squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, mice, rats, gophers, rabbits, badgers, and weasels.
