Insect and Mite "Bug" Identification

 Summary: Insect and mite identification & pest management advice to help you avoid hiring costly pest control services. We use your digital images and description to identify an unknown specimen and provide pest control suggestions where appropriate.

Bug/Pest Control Questions?

If you still have questions or need a bug id send me an e-mail at [email protected] with a description/image of the problem (see What to Include ... below). If I can help I'll send you a link to the appropriate page at 'Bugs.

Note: Unfortunately I am no longer able to offer the fee-based pest id service but I'm happy to suggest other resources that may help - just send me an e-mail.

Please read: We get a lot of questions about what I call "unknown and mysterious bug bites " which share the common complaint of being bitten by an unseen bug. If you are experiencing itchy "bites" but can't find any insects or mites please see Causes of Mysterious Bug Bites.
