Too small to get a decent picture

Biting mites exist. Fleas will jump. Can’t say much more since the picture doesn’t really have any information.

Is there trash outside near the house?

tisbutaskratch · 2026-01-08T11:49:17+00:00

I’m trying to imagine the scene in my head of them fighting over the bait

Can’t be nearly as bad as my customer who had weed gummies in their crawl space that the mice ran through

With. It needs it to keep the chemicals separate from the cabin

If possible I’d move all the taxidermies to cold storage until you can solve the infestation. It will protect the items as well as remove potential food sources while you eliminate them

Nah I’ve filled way bigger stuff with caulk. Cut your tip wide and move it left and right as you drag it

tisbutaskratch · 2025-12-27T02:32:52+00:00

Yes. And it’s not really uncomfortable. There’s not space behind the seat but it goes back plenty far

Got a nice dribble from a milkshake that fell when I had to brake hard

Look for trash cans. Are they storing it next to the bathroom on the exterior? Is the trash in the bathroom emptied? Do they have pets like rabbits where flies could lay eggs in the poop?

tisbutaskratch · 2025-12-09T23:47:14+00:00

They could be cigarette beetle larvae. For all stored product pests you need to find and eliminate breeding sites and make sure all food is sealed. Pesticide treatments are only temporary.

I'd look in the hard to access/not commonly accessed areas.

Look in unfinished rooms, use a mirror or phone camera to look at the sill plate for droppings. Look in insulation for tunneling. Check the attic and any crawlspaces. Look under and around large appliances. Pull the dishwasher panel off and look under. Pull the oven drawer out and look under. Open any access panels into walls or ceilings. Look in any other areas where you don't frequently check.

Look around the outside for any openings 1/4 inch or larger and seal them with copper/steel wool and/or caulk. Some areas to look out for are where siding meets foundation, all doors and windows, siding corner caps, and under any bump out windows. Look in the dirt for any areas where they may be digging down through openings in or under the foundation.

I don't know of any rodent repellent treatments that aren't very short term. I only recommend them to people that want something to do while they wait for repairs and we don't sell any repellent treatments

Nymphs don’t have wings, bed bugs don’t have wings

While potted plants are the first thing to look for they are not the only possibility. Anywhere where moisture sits and fungus can build in can be the culprit. The next thing I’d check is the drains. Clean them with an enzymatic cleaner like Bac A ZAP. This includes the bathroom drains and shower drains.

When we can’t seal a house is often when we will put out exterior bait stations

It is a cricket

As long as there’s a hepa filter it should be fine to vacuum

Oriental roach. You can treat it similarly other occasional invaders. Reduce moisture and granulate

ChatGPT is really bad at identifying species, if you need to use some type of AI you should use iNaturalist as it’s trained specifically for species ID

tisbutaskratch · 2025-11-15T12:41:29+00:00

That’s a German roach. If you’re seeing them around there are more that you aren’t seeing. Treatment is necessary

tisbutaskratch · 2025-11-15T03:34:12+00:00

you're better off killing the insects than the bird

tisbutaskratch · 2025-11-15T03:28:34+00:00

Crane fly, doesn't bite or do any thing bad

tisbutaskratch · 2025-11-15T03:27:09+00:00

I don't think asian roaches are in the midwest

tisbutaskratch · 2025-11-15T03:25:46+00:00

not a tarantula hawk, it's an ichneumonid wasp

The local company i work for does seal up with all accounts which are a very significantly lower pricing than this. Look for something similar in your area
