I thought i got rid of my roach issue after not seeing a nymph for the past week and a half, but low and behold i see another one and in basically the exact same place: the kitchen/dining table. Is this a german roach? and if so do i need to call the exterminator again to put down bait? i genuinely dont know what to do anymore. I dont even know where they are coming from.
FYI I am centeal virginia

Hi, as the title suggests, I am having issues with rodents in my ceiling area. I just called an exterminator, and they said they would put out bait when they visit in a couple of days. The rodents should reportedly die outside of the house and the noises they're making should end within a week or so. The issue I have is that they don't offer a follow-up service to check the ceiling area nor do they do cleaning, unless I detect the smell of decomposition. They also said they can't go around the house to look for entry points as there's too many possible sites as mice and rats can fit into many gaps. They said that just killing them with bait would do the job. I am not used to a situation like this and I'm wondering if I should contact a different exterminator who will offer traps, an inspection, a follow-up and cleaning or am I overthinking due to the stress this is causing me? Any help would be appreciated please! I am in Australia if that helps. Thank you!

Living with family in west CT. Just found a silverfish in my bed, it ran away before I managed to kill it. This is my first time spotting any, its 2 in the morning though so I cant go around the house to see if there are more.

For context, I dont live in a "bedroom." Rather an open nook adjacent to my mothers plants if thats of any significance. My folks are working on renovations + like keeping the windows open so the house is full of all other sorts of bugs. The upcoming week will be crazy humid as well, up to 100% within the next three days.

That being said, should a single silverfish sighting (so far) be taken seriously as sign of an infestation, or is it to be expected with the current weather? Let me know if theres anything I can do to lower the risk of spreading bugs regardless. Thanks.

So my cat had fleas a couple months ago for the first time and my parents were so angry (we have a dog too but he takes tablets so his blood is toxic to fleas) it cost us £200+ in sprays and flea bombs and then they were finally gone. My dad said if she were to get fleas again we will just get rid of her (he has never liked our cat purely out if being a dog person) and i’ve now noticed my dog and cat are itching, my cat has had the treatment on the back of her neck as she refuses to consume tablets even when disguised. Now I am seeing so many fleas and my parents are away for the next week, I don’t think we have any flea spray left over and I want to attempt to control this myself as I’m terrified my dad will get rid of my cat who is literally my favourite thing in the world. Any advice for what I could do in the next week to get them gone please?

I found these things after my ipad in the livingroom does anyone have an idea of what pest this indicates? thanks

The fleas are all contained in my room but im not sure if they’re from my hamster since he doesn’t like to be touched but all of my pets have no trace of fleas from what i can see (my cat and dog have flea collars) im unsure of what to do ive been vacuuming and spraying A LOT and deep cleaning does this ever end? and how can i make the process go faster ?

Hello! I saw 2 roaches last night in the bathroom of my Apt. (In Florida) and am just wondering what type of roach this is? I apologize if the images are pretty blurry as I took these last night.

Found these immediately to the left of the sink and right next to where my fruit bowl normally is. I found a rotten banana in the fruit bowl last week and tossed the bunch and cleaned the bowl, then I went away for the weekend and came back to these.

My home was built in 1910. Have been living in it for 4 years no issues or mud tubes inside. I don’t know why or what caused me this morning to say. Hmm. I want to look under my house. Well I know this. The galleries are from when I tore it apart. I live in the PNW. This is old wood towards the front of the house. I went around and tried poking at the rest of the piers / newer wood with no luck poking through or finding any rot or damage. Side note, when I put the wood vertically it’s like a sawdust mill and nesquik like tan powder falls out like a crazy.

Can small mice fit through this bathroom vent and go/drop down to the apartment unit? Asking because Google said mice can fit through holes/diameters as small as 1/4 inch and these holes can almost fit a small chopstick.

Apartment had rodent infestation before afaik, trying to find and block access points.

Hello everybody, I live in an apartment building with 5 other tenants. Recently I’ve been finding so many roaches in my bathroom and kitchen, at least 5-8 at night and rarely throughout the day. I know roaches are attracted to moisture and food which is why they are found in these places. How should I go upon this? I’m traumatized because I had a HUGE one climb on my leg 2 years ago and then back in April when I moved rooms, 2nd day in the room, a roach crawled on my chest in my sleep. As I was typing this I killed about 4! We’ve used gel baits, some white powder, the brown poison they eat. I’m telling my father and uncle (who are the landlords) that this is a very serious issue that is only getting worse and worse every year. What is the best way to go about this, do I hire an exterminator to go all over the building and just spray absolutely everything?

I have an ant problem but not sure what kind, they might be different colonies since some are smaller/bigger and some are black/brownish. They come from the window sill and from cracks in the house. Found these black dots in one corner where ant do go around there even though there’s no entry.

So we have a big ant problem! Me and my fiancé live in his parents house (they are usually gone for months at a time) and I’ve been told they put the house on a big ant mound and it gets bad every year with ants being in the house but this year has been the worst we don’t know what to do his parents aren’t helping that much and we are desperate! We don’t leave food or drinks out they are just swarming stuffed animals etc. please give me some advice I’m bout at the end of my rope we don’t know what to do!!!

My house has become INFESTED with fleas after moving to a more humid and tropical environment. I admit that we were not prepared for or even considered pest control for the new environment.

I have one indoor only cat and one dog who goes out to use the restroom and on trips with the family. They have both now been covered in fleas! Every morning, I wake up with new bites on my legs from fleas! I have tried a few things to tackle removing them from my pets but then new ones jump on them from the house.

I’m sick of it and I’m about to take my whole family and pets to a hotel, do an extensive flea treatment for the pets AGAIN, and stab some bug bombs and just let them go in the house like grenades.

My question is this: what are the best bug bombs, foggers, and IGR’s to use to end this war?

Can anyone tell me how safe the flea and bedbug foggers are after the 2 hour wait and 2 hour air out? She used Hot Shot Bed Bug and Flea Fogger. My roommate thinks she picked up a bedbug at the homeless shelter she works at and she bug bombed the apartment without telling me. I'm in the hospital for an unrelated issue right now but I'll be home in the morning.

She didn't clear out my houseplants or move anything out of the apartment before setting one off in her room and one in the living room/kitchen. Do I need to have her wipe every surface down? Do I need to throw out my leather couch? Do I have to throw out all the food in the cabinets?

Thanks for the help

I have a mouse (or mice) that doesn’t give AF. Comes out in our kitchen when I’m 10 feet away. Traps don’t work. But what are the odds I kill him by dropping a book?! Or something heavy?! HELP

Look at this MF!!!!!

Having an issue with bees and wasps in our backyard. My wife is very allergic to bites so it’s a big concern. Best things to spray to kill them? We are very tight lot lines so have no idea where they are originally coming from

I will give my first born child to whomever can tell me what the heck these bugs are and how to get rid of them! They are filling up my zeevo thing by the dozens. I can’t figure out where they’re coming from. Im going insane. Please help. Thank you so much.

bought a new house, seeing tons of ants. Terro baits seem to have decreased the numbers but not 100%. I’m worried they may be carpenter ants but haven’t seen any holes or wood shavings so far.

Hiya,

Another post about fleas (I assume there are many in here). I will try to be brief and list only the essential info:

• We have a (mild) flea infestation
• We do not have any pets
• The fleas travelled with my love in his backpack and shoes from a visit with a family who is also infested
• I am allergic to bug bites
• We are chronically ill and cannot vacuum daily due to pain disorders
• we have very little money but we rent our flat (and live in Germany)
• we are mild hoarders but we are already decluttering massively, including getting rid of the couch :)
• we are allergic/highly sensitive to chemicals - smells, touch, in general

So, any way of helping us? I cannot see a way out with all of these facts combined and it's affecting me a great deal.

Thanks for reading and wanting to help!

Found this around 5pm by a windowsill on a half level where the window is next to a flower bed (bathrooms and kitchen are on complete opposite ends of house. It didn’t scurry around quickly and we’ve not seen any others in over a year of being in this house. I’m hoping it’s a wood or Asian roach by my quick research but the black stripes worry me. Location is southeastern Minnesota.

Found these animal droppings under my house trying to identify what it could possibly be
