Could this be mouse poop?

I found a brown piece of something on the leather couch at a resort. You could say it resembled a pellet. I picked it up and it was pliable, squeezed against my finger and it was like a paste, thats when i squeezed it and it stained my fingers with a paste like composition. I then put it on this cardboard piece, with my curiosity I smeared to see what the it is. Seems like to light for mouse poop and also the way it broke apart. Second and 3rd picture is zoom of first. Any animal expert?

Could this be mouse poop?

This new apartment has been a nightmare. I’ve been seeing German cockroaches and had pest control come out to do a treatment. I also have sticky traps out and haven’t seen any mice caught in it but I think I’m going to lose my mind if it’s mouse droppings

Thrips in the South or no?

Hey y’all, I live in SC and noticed these little guys pop up every summer at my place. They’re only on the ground floor (at least I haven’t noticed them upstairs yet) and normally occupy the space around doorways/baseboards around the doors. My pest control said they could be thrips but I don’t think they’re quite as similar. Super tiny and can hop around but never get very deep into my place. Would love some help or guesses as to what they could be. Thanks!

Fly control around farm property

Hey All,

EDIT: I'm in Canada BTW

We have a large farm property which has several manure piles around at any given time. The majority of our manure piles are outside, uncovered. We do have one covered manure building for our layers. We could have anywhere from 30-50 tonnes of manure at any given time.

I already have a daily routine of spraying but I'm more curious if there's anything out there, anything I could be doing differently,etc...

Currently I spray the piles daily. I rotate between Tempo SC Ultra, Perm-Up,Demand and Debantic.

We also acquired a large 20ft mortality composter last year and that had added another layer of challenge in controlling flies. I am currently trying the Agita paint of fly bait and it seems to be just OK, I've painted it onto the frame of the composter it's self as well as many other surfaces around it.

We have probably 10 fly bag traps placed around the property as well as a couple of the fancy buckets.

If you've got any suggestions, advice or information on methods, products etc..I would definitely love to hear about it.

I did finally upgrade from the old manual pump sprayers to a FlowZone Typhoon, so, hopefully that will help with getting better coverage on big piles as well as coating the inside walls of covered storage.

TIA!

Wtf are these tiny little creatures

u/Yeet_dat_meat69 — 7 hours ago

What are these?

Bunch of these tiny bugs started showing up. I noticed them around the sink at first but there was a lot more on the floorboard near the back door. Will a general indoor bug killer get rid of them? Lived at my house for 5 years and never seen them.

Roach inside oven a week into lease?

I haven’t seen any other bugs up until now. Well, maybe a couple ants but thats it. Came home today to a couple friends chilling in my oven clock. I don’t even know how to kill them since they are inside the oven. Is this a “ask the leasing office to change units?” type problem or is it “go to walmart and roach bomb the house?” Problem? Does this mean I have an infestation if they are all the way inside the oven? What do i use to kill them/prevent more?
Context: i live in a first floor unit in central FL. So ik roaches r SUPER easy to get here

I killed a roach on my carpet, how screwed am I?

I had no choice but to stomp on it with my bunny slipper. I quickly gloved up, threw my slippers into a small garbage bag, grabbed what was left of the roach’s body with Lysol wipes and wiped up what I could on the carpet with more wipes. I sprayed some of hydrogen peroxide cleaner spray and went to bed. Today I’m growing this paranoia that I shouldn’t have stomped on it because I’m hearing that I now run the risk of having roach eggs burrowed into the carpet. To settle my fear some, I’ve sprinkled a good amount of Borax on the area it was murdered and plan on vacuuming after 24 hours.

Any advice?

Been fighting a losing battle with these bugs

Waking up every morning to around 5-10 of these little bugs around our living room for the last 6 weeks.
Originally worried that they were carpet beetles due to finding them primarily on the couch however from watching a couple this morning I've noticed they're trying to get under our skirting, through gaps in the woodwork and hanging around our juliette balcony doors.
There are none in the kitchen, the living room is the only room affected.

I do have 3 plants including a monstera and have found a bunch hanging around the bottom of it

Terro vs Advion ant poison

Terro is what’s easy to find locally for me but I ordered some advion packs online because I heard they were more effective. However the Argentine ants that I have a problem with seem to be completely uninterested in the advion and are swarming the Terro.

Palmetto bugs

Just moved into a new house, left it vacant for about a week come back and there’s hundreds of dead palmetto bugs. Had the exterminator come out the other day, but today I’ve seen at least 10-15 huge ones crawling around trying to find there way inside from the driveway. I bought some boric acid from Walmart and put the powder literally everywhere inside and outside. Any other ideas? I am serious there are so many traveling around outside I’ve been in Florida my whole life and haven’t seen it this bad.
