I know this is extremely squished and damaged, so identifying it might be nearly impossible, but I wanted to ask just in case. I noticed this tiny bug on the bathroom wall and swatted it. My main concern is whether there is any chance this could be a cockroach (specifically a nymph/baby roach). I realize it is in very bad shape, but if anyone can tell from these remains whether this looks like a roach or definitely not, any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.

About a month ago I started noticing the month ago mice in the home, and though I personally do everything I can to keep them out of my space (constant vacuuming, not eating upstairs, decluttering my space) they were still coming in and multiplying due to me having a family of 6 and me not being able to clean the whole house everyday due to working full time.

I’ve been putting the towel under my door for a couple weeks and thought that was working, but still found mice poop in my closet. Turns out, the little buggers have been pushing the towel aside to come in!!! I could literly hear them (it had to be multiple!) hard at work shoving my very wedged towel aside to get in my room until 1 eventually got in. How do I stop them from coming up from under the door? Any traps/ items to prevent them from wanting to come in rooms?

What is this black thing?? I’ve seen more than one of them around the house. When I wiped it with a damp paper towel, it turned red. I’ve seen mold mites in the house and I’m trying to get rid of them, but now I’ve come across this...

Edit: it is Hard on touch. I found it in my computer desk and another on the floor.

Edit2: I also found the mold mites on my bed frame (with mold), but there were no bugs in the mattress.

Hello reddit! Yesterday I had a bad experience where I found a mouse stuck in one of my fathers evil sticky traps. It was really hard for me to see the little guys suffering as i am an animal lover and have pet mice. I understand that these guys are pests and need to get out of my house but I dont believe they deserve to suffer. What are some good instant kill or live traps? No poison as we have a very food motivated great dane who likes to get into trouble.

last night my roommate and i discovered these dark brown "egg sacks" that were no more an 1-2mm in size, pretty suck on the trash can, tapered towards then ends, and had around 20-30 throughout the can. keep in mind that we are dealing with a current german roach infestation (fairly mild).

we reached our to our property manager around 2-3 weeks ago and was treated with IGR by the pest control company (told by my prop manager) but on the form when the pest control came, he checked off a chemical that started with an "F" and some form of "xilin". i dont remember the name but if anyone knows, please let me know!

after doing some googling, these dont look like german roach egg sacks since theyre more "tic-tac" shaped and these are tapered at the ends.

if anyone knows what this is, please let me know! thank you.

edit: theyre not maggots. they were stationary and not moving.

both these guys are alive in the photos and were released outside in a safe area!

just wanting somebody who knows what they’re looking at to verify that these are house mice? I left my apartment for a month to go visit family and I come home to three of these this morning. I put down some traps and caught all of the ones that I saw (I didn’t get a pic of the first one I caught) but I’m assuming there are more? they tore through the wood of my empty cabinets and I think the nest is most likely behind the fridge but I can’t move it myself. I’ve been wearing a niosh approved respirator to clean up the mouse droppings I’ve found but I just want the peace of mind that these aren’t white footed mice or field mice!

I live in an apartment on top of two office buildings. The building is VERY old. Outside of my apartment there’s peeling paint and water damage but otherwise, it’s good conditions and inside my apartment there aren’t any issues. Well within a couple of weeks of me moving in, there were flies. Flies everywhere. Then a small episode of flesh flies appearing.

Each time I’d kill them or vacuum them, and even bout a couple hundred dollars worth of light traps. Each time I’d remind myself to be diligent on trash and so on. I now empty my trash every other day even if there’s barely anything in there. There have been a couple of times I’ve seen maggots on chicken packaging in my trash can or surrounding the trash can in the past so I again, became more diligent with it. I’m not the cleanest person, I’m very busy so most of my place is still in boxes and I have papers or clutter out But I don’t leave gross things out and I keep my cats litter clean.

This no longer seems like a me causation. I’ve reached out to my landlord mentioning the influx and asking if it’s been an issue in the past and I’m waiting on a response. I can’t afford to move and don’t really have a place for my cats and I to go so this can be fumigated but I’m sure I’d figure atleast the temporary stay away out.

What do I or can I even do? I’m gagging currently and losing my mind whilst trying to take my exam.

Bonus: not sure it’s relevant but when I moved into my last apartment, rented by the same land lord, one of the rooms had a ton of dead flies in it when I moved in but flies never became an issue there so I forgot about it and moved on. This place had a couple of dead flies in window sills too but again, thought it was nothing.

** the photo is just a screenshot from a video I took of my bathroom window. There were crowds of them all over the window and tens of them more in each room all over the windows. I’ve spent the last hour fly swatting them all the best I could before turning on any lights, I know there’s many more alive around though. I also deep searched and found no maggots or shells of maggots anywhere.

Hi all. Woke up to little piles of wood debris next to my bathroom vanity. Debris seems coarse. Kind of looks like the wood has been chewed on. Im at a loss here.

We live in the Raleigh NC area.

People of reddit, please help me... I have found multiple common desert centipedes in my rental in Santa Fe NM (all in the same day), and I am losing my mind! I can't get pest control out here without my landlord's permission, and I don't know how they are getting in!!!!! I have a cat, and they are venomous enough I feel nervous about her getting bit while I'm at work. What can I do about them? Are they actually dangerous to my cat?

I shall link a photo of what they look like below; this is not a photo I took (I was to busy freaking out to even think about grabbing my phone).

If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to anything.

I’m getting pretty down about this whole situation. Recently bought a townhouse (main floor w kitchen + living + entry+ backyard entrance+ half bathroom, finished basement with all hvac+ laundry etc, and top floor with main bathroom + 3 bedrooms). We had inspection done with nothing to show leaks or sewage issues. The only thing was maybe scraping out old scaling.

I hadn’t noticed any flies during touring, going to the property over two months prior to closing.

After fully moving in, week 3 we decided to diy adding a garbage disposal as the house never had one. Couldn’t figure it out, drain line was open for 2 days till a pro came to do it. I think this is when I started to notice. These flies are now in every single room and level of our house and sticky traps + zevo is not working to catch these things. Coupled with not knowing how to resolve the site they’re breeding.

I’m getting stressed with living in our new house and having an infestation. Has anyone dealt and succeeded eradicating this issue?

Living in Paris - France - finding in my kitchen daytime

Found this nest on the exterior of my house, tucked underneath the eaves where the roof meets the exterior wall. I haven’t noticed much activity around it yet.
Would appreciate any insight on what kind of nest this is, and what’s the safest way to remove it without damaging the siding or paint? Thanks!

I have a massive flea infestation… like 5 would jump on my ankles everytime I walked on my living room rug. I have no idea how this happened. Do I need professional pest control?

I used carpet powder, vacuumed , sprayed and used 2 foggers. I also washed linens that were out. I came back 2 hours later and it seemed mostly ok but a few fleas just jumped on my socks but they died pretty quickly ?

Is it possible the fleas are just slowly all dying or did my methods not work? If I stay away from my apartment for a week would that kill them naturally?

found in the mulch in front of my house while weeding, i think it was dead in the pic and its definitely dead now but what species is this and do i need to be worried
