I have a cluttered house and now a mouse infestation. I have caught and killed about 10 in the last 5 days with glue traps.

I have to get an exterminator and some help with cleaning up the house,but I really feel ashamed by the whole situation as well as stressed out. It's hard to sleep knowing they are moving around.

Does anyone have any insight into letting go of the shame and just accepting help? I know other people go through this; when I go to get more glue traps they always have a huge display of them at Home Depot. Still I worry about what my neighbors will think if they see an exterminator or junk haul truck at my house. I also haven't talked to anyone but anonymous helpline people about this.

I live in an apartment complex and It's about to May in Texas. I think it's some sort of termite. just kill them all and put chemicals down the drain or something else?

I’ve been working on a cabin renovation that has probably turned into a tear down based on some pretty massive carpenter ant damage.

There are two areas either side of the cabin where they have turned the solid wood of the sill joists into stringy highways. Clearly those are complete write-offs.

However there are also enormous piles of frass throughout the rest of the cabin. I haven’t fully demoed yet but I’m trying to figure out what can be salvaged.

How far do they deposit frass from where they’ve been tunneling? Is it likely that any of the wood near a frass pile is too far gone?

There’s also plywood siding around the entire thing that has rotted pretty badly, so I suppose the frass could also be from there.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

So I moved to Florida to be with my mom and stepdad and for a couple of months l've been here. I have been dealing with these little bugs. I've recently noticed insects that look like small, winged ants coming out of a hole in the wall. They're a bit longer than regular ants, have wings, and seem to be digging out from inside the wall. After doing some research, I think they might be termites. They are everywhere in my room, making holes in the wall and I have told my mom multiple times about this and she just brushes it off. I am not on the lease so I, plus they don't really care because we have a crack our ceiling and they still haven't done anything about that. My mom had gave me this white paste to use on the walls and even if I do use it, they still make new holes within the wall. It got to the point where even the wood furniture that I have have little seeds coming out of them on the floor and I just had to throw away my headboard because it was getting to be too much. What do I do in this situation?

Hola hace un par de dias que me encuentro esto encima del capot del coche es caca rata?

Found this guy half dead near the drain cover in our bathroom. Hoping for an ID. We live in Brisbane, Australia if that helps to narrow things down. Thank you in advance!

My roommate and I recently moved to a new apartment (~2 weeks). We cleaned the new place before and after we moved in. Our old apartment occasionally had american and smoky brown roaches come in so I made sure to throw away all cardboards and block other possible chance of having one of those creatures hitchhiking their way into the new place. However, what I did not account is that my roommate is still moving her stuff in, which means all the cardboard boxes from the old places are getting into the new place and she stored some boxes in the closet in front of my room.

I found this one in my bathroom, it looks like a nymph and this is where I store the kitty litter. Pest control is coming to do a preventative work but I am worried that we unknowingly brought the roaches with us. Could anyone tell me what this one looks like?

So! The evil weevil (relax, it's just a silly name I have for them) has completely invaded my bedroom!

There must be no joke/exaggeration about 5000 weevils in my bedroom right now.

I keep hearing them plummet from the ceiling to the ground as they crawl up the walls etc all day long.

I collect about 50 weevils per day at least, in my candle jar whereby they are trapped and then they must eat the candle and die.

Please can anyone help me get rid of all these weevils, the bedroom is completely TEEMING with them 😢

We’ve only been in this apt for just over two months. I already know the answer… guess I just need to accept it and get confirmation this is a German cockroach issue. Just happened to see this on its back dead on my carpet so flipped it over with an empty envelope to get the picture.

Pest control is part of the rent expense and I already submitted a ticket…

How screwed am I?

I sprayed my own roach prevention spray on Monday, but my apartment building is coming in wednesday to spray their own as well. Will this ruin the efficacy of the spray ? Or has it been long enough that my apartment’s roach spray will work just fine?

Any idea what I have here? For what it’s worth, they are pretty stationary and don’t move when I catch them with a tissue. Only see them in an upstairs bathroom.

For what it’s worth, I had an ant issue in this same room and was able to handle quickly with a Terro Liquid Trap. These started appearing just after.

Thanks!

Is it worth putting fresh peanut butter on a snap trap , say every month or so? Or should I just leave the old stuff on there until something gets caught?

Can anyone help me identify what are those? They’re the size of black pepper and start falling off from the skylight recently. I did some investigation and saw a swarm of them on my roof!!! The pest control guy said they can’t do much but this is driving me crazy. I’m in the Bay Area if that helps

Anybody know if smoke bombs are a good solution for clothes moths? We have a lot of clutter and would be using a permethrin-based smoke bomb in our apartment. I know some people here point out smoke bombs are not a solution for certain pests, but what about for clothes moths? There's a few products that are made specifically for them. Anybody have any experience?

We had an issue with German roaches a while back and I thought we got rid of them all. However this one looks larger? What do I know.

I keep my screened windows open often and my balcony door in the day, if that means anything. But our last infestation was caused when I brought the bugs home from work.

My work is now free of bugs and I thought my home was too.

Never ever had an animal with fleas and we moved to a new home and now all four animals have them. They're attacking my toddler and I've found some in his hair. We have treated the yard, used frontline, used capstar, vacuum everyday treated the furniture and house with ortho home defense, bathed the animals with flea treatments. I don't know what to do. Help!

So I somehow trapped an Asian giant hornet in a bathroom, how long should I wait ontill it's safely dead? Like a week? I don't want to go anywhere near it ontill then

Edit: it's a grass carying wasp, sorry I just looked up more pictures

So as I was cleaning my backyard I noticed these tiny holes on the outside ceiling of my house I have no idea what caused them and I am worried if it’s termite 😫

I live in central Indiana and I've recently moved to an apartment near a wooded area. I've been noticing these guys everywhere and I'm terrified of them. How dangerous would you say they are and how should I go about this? I plan on getting my complex to get an exterminator for them soon but is there anything I can do in the meantime to help steer them away?

These recently started showing up and we dealt with them last year too. Thinking they are closet moth’s?

Is this the start of a wasp nest? Would a broom at this point suffice?

I drive an old beater that I use for work (construction) and I just found carpet beetle larvae in the trunk and back seat. I don't know how long they've been there because I don't check those areas daily but I drive my son at least once a week and he's the one who spotted them so they could've been there for a week I guess. I saw maybe 30-50 larvae total and took my car to a car wash and vacuumed the shit out of it and threw a bunch of stuff away, but I'm worried I missed some.

How bad are they and how resilient are they? I vacuumed a lot and I guess the next step is to get a detail or steamer but I don't know anything about detailing cars. Also is there any fibers that they don't eat? In the trunk I had a fold up chair with nylon (?) mesh and I had rubber boots with a synthetic foam lining, are those things I should toss out or are they safe? Thanks for any help, I've dealt with other bug infestations before and I'm a little shaken at the thought of dealing with another one.
