Summary:

"Between the comfort of human civilization and the violent chaos of nature lies a shaky borderline. Cross that line and both sides are doomed. The Guardians of this line are - The Exterminators. Writer Simon Oliver and artist Tony Moore team up to tell this smart, scary, darkly comic tale on roaches, rats, raccoons and the men who kill them. Henry James, the newest exterminator, sees the job as a means to cleanse the sins of his dark past. But standing between him and redemption are his careerist girlfriend, sociopathic partner, the dysfunctional freaks he calls coworkers and a wierdly ominous locked box that could hold the key to an ancient mystery. Henry and his 'bug brothers' of Bug Bee-Gone Co. prowl the barrios and bungalows of Los Angeles, where the line between order and chaos is at its thinnest - and where Henry learns that humans may be the true pests, and bugs the real exterminators." -- Page [4] of cover.
