# Pest to treatment matcher

Select a pest already identified by an expert. See options to discuss with a provider. This tool does not identify an insect from a bite or select a pesticide.

Use the tool on the [web page](https://pesttreatment.fyi/tools/pest-treatment-matcher). It works without JavaScript.

## How to use it

1. Choose pest and job scope.
2. Read the result.

## How it works

University of Minnesota Extension: Ants, https://extension.umn.edu/insects-infest-homes/ants; Cockroaches, https://extension.umn.edu/insects-infest-homes/cockroaches; Wasps and bees, https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/wasps-and-bees. All fetched 2026-11-10. These explain identification, targeted control and the importance of nest location.

EPA: Termites, https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/termites-how-identify-and-control-them; Do-it-yourself Bed Bug Control, https://www.epa.gov/bedbugs/do-it-yourself-bed-bug-control. Fetched 2026-11-10. UC IPM: Drywood Termites, https://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7440.html, fetched 2026-11-10.

CDC: Controlling Wild Rodent Infestations, https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/index.html; Mosquito Control at Home, https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/mosquito-control-at-home.html. Fetched 2026-11-10.

The result is a fixed discussion checklist from the selected pest. It does not assess infestation severity, building access, health conditions or legal product availability. Follow the label applicable in your country.

> Information only. Do not approach active nests, apply pesticides or enter treated spaces based only on this result. Ask a qualified provider for a site-specific plan.

## Questions

### Can this identify my pest?

No. Have a specimen or photo checked before selecting a treatment. Similar symptoms can have different causes.

### Does a result mean I should use a pesticide?

No. Ask what prevention, repairs and monitoring can address first. A provider must assess the site and follow the product label.
