What is that bug? Is that dropping something to worry about? Do those mounds in the yard mean moles? PestCheck answers the question you actually have: do I need to do something about this? Take a photo, type a description, or both. PestCheck identifies what you're likely looking at and tells you plainly whether it's harmless, normal, unusual, a real pest problem, or dangerous. If it's something a professional should handle, PestCheck says so, and shows a featured pest control partner if we have one in your state. WHAT YOU CAN CHECK • Insects — roaches, ants, termites, bed bugs, spiders, wasps • Rodents and wildlife — mice, rats, moles, and the damage they leave • Droppings, nests, burrows, mounds, and chew marks • Snakes and other animals you'd rather identify from a distance • Anything else you'd call a pest control company about HOW IT WORKS 1. Snap a photo or describe what you're seeing 2. Get an identification with a clear verdict 3. If you need a pro, call a featured partner in your state, or find a licensed local professional FREE, NO ACCOUNT PestCheck is completely free. No sign-up, no subscription, no banner ads. Featured partners pay to be listed or are launch partners, and they're always labeled, so you don't pay anything. PRIVACY No account required. Your state is saved on your phone only. To identify the pest, your photo or description is sent to PestCheck's server and to Anthropic, the company that makes the Claude AI. PestCheck doesn't store it. Anthropic generally deletes it within 30 days and doesn't use it to train its AI. IMPORTANT PestCheck gives AI-generated guidance, not a guaranteed identification. It can be wrong. It is not a substitute for inspection by a licensed professional. If you may be dealing with a venomous animal or a health hazard, contact a professional.
