'''''Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests''''' is one of the many books written by [[Gilderoy Lockhart]]. It includes advice on how to get rid of household pests. It can be assumed that [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] is not the real author, due to his fraudulence, although the real author is never identified. Similarly, the methods inscribed within may not have been devised by Lockhart, but instead by someone else. Interestingly enough, although the subject of this book is on house care, the front cover features [[Gilderoy Lockhart]], a sign of his vanity.
