can someone PLEASE help me identify these insects on my bed and how to get rid of them? theyre vvv tiny and they jump to the side when i try to capture them, i deep cleaned my entire room, sprayed insecticide, vacuumed the bed frame and the mattress, even put the mattress out in sun for a few days, they were gone for a few days like week max and came back again im tired of this

Can someone tell me what kind of ant this is? We’ve had a couple a day for a few weeks. Have Terro all over and it hasn’t gotten worse but still seeing the odd one.

This one is 1cm in length from tip of antenna to back of legs. Slightly red in the middle.

I’ve been having these bug bites for a month now. They’re small raised bumps. Sometimes they’re singular, sometimes they’re clustered, and sometimes they’re in a line. They are itchy raised bumps. I’m so paranoid that these are from bed bugs. I tore up most of my bed and I can’t find any sign of bed bugs. I’ve found three beetle looking things in the past month on my bed. First one was skinny and black and was crawling on my finger. Second one was the yellow skinny baby one. Third encounter is the one in the photo, but I think it’s the skin not the actual bug itself. I haven’t slept in my bed for a week, bc I’m so disgusted by the fact that there might be bed bugs feeding on me. I literally do not know what to do. Someobody pls tell me if these are carpet beetle bites😭😭I also live in the midwest

Found two of these in my bed. Child has a few red marks on her back. Is the photo good enough to identify what it is? Thank you.

I have a vehicle that I parked at a relatives home for a few days with a known sugar ant issue. They found their way into my car and I don’t know how to get rid of them.

I’ve found a couple in my car but presume they fell in from door jam when I opened doors rather than actually in my very clean car.

Has anyone successfully removed sugar ants from a vehicle engine/frame?

It’s almost winter and I’d like to park my car back in my garage but don’t want to with ants living there!

Hey everyone, I’m a pest control professional in San Antonio Texas. I have a service manager who is telling me to use on slot for a southern yellow jacket job tomorrow I have a QC manager who’s telling me to use termidor sc. what do y’all think is the best application for this job?

Have a visitor if someone could tell me if it’s a rat or mouse

I've had a pest control company focused on rodents at my house in the Sierra Nevada mountains, doing regular checks. They seem to have sealed the interior of the house (no rodent activity inside) but crawl space activity seems to continue. In May they trapped a few rodents and discovered an entry point which was sealed. After that, we had a quiet period for a while and then they found a broken crawl space vent a few weeks ago at September end (no rodents found then). Last week, they found a rodent in a trap in the crawl space and holes/chew marks in the 6 mil vapor barrier down there. They are saying they think they are tunneling under the house to get into the crawl space and have some pictures of holes in the yard near the foundation. They are recommending doing a 20 mil vapor barrier in the crawl space to keep them out, noting that they have not seen any rodents able to get through the 20 mil barrier they use in other properties and noting it would be covered under warranty if they did. Thoughts on this?

I've been dealing with a persistent pantry moth problem in my kitchen for several months, and I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out what's going on.

I've placed pantry moth traps in three different sections of my kitchen:

• Section A: Contains cereal, coffee, and other pantry items.
• Section B: Contains NO food. This cabinet is located directly above my range hood/stove exhaust fan, which vents to the outside.
• Section C: Contains flour, cooking spices, and other dry food items.

Here's the strange part:

• Section A: Maybe 1 moth caught per month.
• Section B: Consistently catches about 2 moths per DAY, and this has been going on for months.
• Section C: Maybe 1 moth caught per month.

Section B is by far the worst, even though there's absolutely no food stored there.

What I've tried in Section B:

• Thorough cleaning
• Vacuuming the cabinet and surrounding areas
• Spraying insecticide
• Using a portable steam cleaner to get into cracks and crevices

Despite all this, the moths keep appearing in the trap above the stove vent.

My questions:

1. Could the moths be breeding or hiding somewhere inside the range hood, exhaust duct, or surrounding wall cavities?
2. Could they be entering from outside through the exhaust vent?
3. Is it possible the moths are originating elsewhere in the kitchen but are particularly attracted to the trap in Section B?
4. Would caulking and sealing all the small cracks and crevices help, or would I just be covering up the real problem?
5. Is there something obvious I'm overlooking?

I'm starting to wonder whether I'm simply not cleaning deeply enough, or whether there's a hidden source I haven't found.

I'd really appreciate advice from pest control professionals or anyone who's dealt with a similar situation. Why would the cabinet with no food consistently catch so many more moths than the cabinets actually containing food?

Thanks in advance!

I have noticed in this sub that German cockroaches are the most feared of them all. I don´t really get why.

In Belgium all non-indiginous cockroaches are a problem. German, American, Surinam, Australian,... We do most often encounter German cockroaches, but they aren´t feared more than other species. Damage is the same for all species.

Why are German cockroaches more of a problem than other cockroaches in your specific country?

Hi all, hoping to get an easy solution here. We’ve been getting mice inside with the season changing. Our exterminator put some bait traps in the basement and I went around the house with Xcluder fill cloth.

I was in the backyard today and saw one of them pop there head out of this gap in my siding. It’s where the central air coil and radon power line go inside the house. My exterminator told me not to fill that with the steel wool/cloth since it’s a fire hazard with the coil… some sorry or reaction? And I know if I use spray foam they’re just gonna eat through it. What’s my best route on how to seal this up? There’s some sort of black sealant that was obviously put there at some point but it’s eroded by now. Only 1.5 years into this house so I have no idea what they did previously. Thanks in advance!

Found one bug late last night. No bites. No dark marks. No egg shells. Sprayed raid just to be safe and washed and dried the sheets. But are these signs of bed bug stains?

I have either a rat or mouse living in this pink kayak on my back porch. I haven’t been able to get a good look to see which it is. It’s at least 6-7 inches long. My wife and I spend a lot of time out here and would rather not share the space. We also have (ironically enough) a rat terrier that we don’t want ending up trying to get to it and getting bit or something. How can we humanely discourage him from returning? We definitely don’t want to unalive him

I found this on my kitchen floor. I feel like it looks too big to be mouse poop? It looks like some kind of poop though. I’m not sure though. I can’t find anything else. It was just this piece. I have a one year old and it was right next to where her toys are. I freaking out to be honest.

Edit: located in Nevada

Please for the love of god how do I get these gnats to go away. We just noticed them inside the house about a month ago around the time they harvested the cornfields I don’t know if that has anything to do with it but they are everywhere inside. The two pictures that I attached are them on the outside of the house by the gutters. From the description that I matched with the Internet it looks like they could be fungus gnats. Thank you!

We continuously have mice keep coming in our house, they are clearly coming in through the front of the house straight into the kitchen where they are often found under the kick boards

My partner spent hours going over the inside and outside and sealing up any holes he could find, we cannot find anymore but clearly there is one. But it’s impossible to find.

I’m revolted, we do keep putting traps down and they’re often found dead in the trap but one/two has been caught in the living room and i have to spend hours cleaning the house properly.

I have two cats, it’s not stopping them.

I’m revolted and I’m really tempted to sell the house, what can I do? I have a toddler and I’m 37 weeks pregnant my house is a f**** health hazard and i am sick to death of it. I’m petrified we’re going to get hantavirus one of these days,

What can I do, I want this to stop, please help I’m absolutely desperate.

A can of fruit exploded in the kitchen cabinet. I cleaned it up and have been cleaning soon after cooking but these won’t go away, after like a month. I find them around the bathroom where there are no food sources that I know of.

We moved into our 50 year old house last summer and ever since the rain started up in the fall, I find these gross little jerks inside almost daily. They’re usually near the front door. I talked to a pest control company and he said all we can do is get sprays. Anyone have any other tips? Other than replacing the front door which is old and drafty (and I assume that’s where they’re crawling through but I don’t actually know) I’m not sure what else to do.

Saw this on my floor, is it a roach?

Not my pics sorry! I can’t tell because of the blur so hopefully someone better can lol

I put bait stations around my storage building, with fresh bait. After a few weeks, checked them. Most of the bait was eaten or partially eaten. I replaced with new bait, checked after a few weeks, bait not touched. Still seeing droppings around property. Am I doing something wrong ?

What does this look like?

Rodent intrusion?

I have been battling box elder bugs for the last 2 years and I can’t seem to find anything that has helped. They seem to congregate on the back of my house when it’s sunny and warm out. I spray them with dish soap and water almost every day and they keep coming back, sometimes even more than the day before. I cut down my box elder tree this summer but there must be another near. Once it gets colder outside they will infest this inside of my house. I don’t know what else to do.
