How the Free Pest Identifier Works
From photo to treatment plan in under two minutes — no account needed.
Step 1
Describe It
Tell us what you’re seeing in plain language, or upload a photo of the pest. No expertise required.
Step 2
Get Identified
You get a straight answer on what it is, how bad it is, and whether it’s dangerous — so you know where you stand instead of guessing at 2am.
Step 3
Receive Your Plan
Get a full treatment plan: severity rating, immediate actions, product recommendations, and prevention tips — downloadable as a PDF.
Step 4
Take Action
Follow the DIY plan yourself, or request a free quote from a local licensed professional when the situation calls for it. This tool stays free because we connect you — only if you ask — to one vetted local pest-control pro. No spam, no info shared unless you request a quote.
See what you get
This is the plan you get, free, in under two minutes — no account, no card.
Sample treatment plan (excerpt)
High Breeding indoors. This will not clear up on its own, and foggers make it worse by scattering them into wall voids.
Stop spraying. Place gel bait in cabinet corners, behind the stove, and under the sink — small dabs, many places. Fix any leak under the sink; they need water more than they need food.
A professional gel bait and an insect growth regulator. Two products, roughly the cost of one supermarket combo pack that would not have worked.
Re-bait at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. Expect to still see a few for 10–14 days — that is the bait working, not failing.
If you are in an apartment and your neighbours have them too, or if there is no improvement after three weeks of correct baiting.
Sample shown for illustration. Your plan is built from what you describe or photograph.
How a free tool stays free
Fair question. The answer is short.
We connect you to one local pro — only if you ask
If your situation needs a professional, you can request a free quote. Your details go to one vetted local pest-control pro at that point, and not before. No quote request, no sharing. No spam.
Some product links earn a small commission
When a plan recommends a product, the link may earn us a few dollars at no extra cost to you. We recommend what actually works — buying the wrong product is how most people end up here in the first place.
What happens to your photo
Your photo is used to identify the pest and nothing else. We do not sell your data. There is no account to create and no card to enter.
Who this is not for
This is built for homes and apartments — homeowners and renters dealing with a pest problem in their own space. It is not a tool for commercial exterminators, agricultural operations, or licensing-level identification work.
Straight answers before you start
The questions people actually ask about an AI that identifies bugs.
How accurate is it, really?
It depends on what you give it. A clear photo, or a specific description like “small light brown roaches with two dark stripes behind the head,” gets a confident ID. Larvae, immature stages, and anything blurry or photographed in motion are genuinely harder — and in those cases the tool tells you it is unsure rather than guessing. Every result carries a confidence level, and a low-confidence answer is a prompt to look closer, not a verdict.
What if my photo is blurry, or the bug is tiny?
Describe it in plain words instead — size, colour, where you found it, what time of day, whether it flew. The tool works from descriptions as well as photos, and a good description often beats a bad photo.
When should I just call a professional?
When the plan says so. Termites, anything structural, an infestation spreading across rooms, and treatments that have already failed twice are all cases where DIY usually costs more than it saves. The tool flags high-severity situations plainly instead of selling you another product.
What happens to my photo and my information?
Your photo is used to identify the pest and nothing else. We do not sell your data. If you request a free quote, your details go to one vetted local pest-control pro at that point — and only then.
Is it actually free, or is there a catch?
Actually free. No account, no card, no trial. It stays free through the optional local-pro referral and small product commissions, both explained above.
Who is this not for?
Commercial exterminators, agricultural operations, and anyone who needs licensing-level or forensic identification. This is built for people dealing with a pest in their own home.

Who is behind this
Todd Parke
All Pest and Termite started with a German cockroach infestation in our own apartment. My wife and I cleaned, sprayed, and set off two rounds of foggers — and the roaches multiplied, because we were treating the wrong pest the wrong way.
I built the Pest ID tool so nobody else has to learn that the expensive way. Read the full story →
