Summary "The Universal Directory for Taking Alive and Destroying Rats" by Robert Smith is a practical guide on pest control written in the late 18th century. The book offers detailed methods for capturing and exterminating various vermin, with a special focus on rats, as well as other four-footed and winged pests relevant to rural and urban settings. It caters to gentlemen, farmers, and those dealing with wildlife destruction, providing instructions grounded in the author's extensive experience as a rat-catcher. At the start of the treatise, Smith introduces the diverse vermin that threaten agricultural and domestic environments, specifically highlighting the dangers posed by rats and how they can cause significant damage. He discusses observations made during his two decades of practice, emphasizing the intelligence and cunning nature of these pests. The opening portion also outlines the necessity for effective trapping methods and preventive measures to safeguard properties, setting the stage for the practical advice that follows in subsequent chapters.
