OSU Ext. Entomologist (ret.)

We have 210+ content pages at 'Bugs covering most of the major, and many minor, household insect and mite pests, and related topics. Many of the current topics listed below are covered by multiple pages. If you don't find what you are looking for try using the search box at the bottom of the page which can search inside 'Bugs.

By May of '09 we will publish a new companion book about household insects titled, of course, "Living with Bugs: Least-Toxic Solutions to Everyday Bug Problems" (Oregon State University Press). Like the 'Bugs site, the book will cover all of the important insects and related arthropods that homeowners love to hate. The book covers life history and identification of the 50+ household pests in a bit more detail than can be covered here.
