Insect And Arthropod Identification

We will be happy to identify insects or other arthropods (bugs) from anywhere in the country. In cases where these are potential pests, many insects including ants, some beetles, moths and others need to be identified to the species level in order to be properly controlled. (See Online Pest Control Consulting).  Others, such as springtails, booklice, etc., only need to be identified to the genus level.

For any insect or arthropod, we will perform the necessary identification necessary to control it.  Either put the sample insect in alcohol (best method), or place them in cotton and put them in a small sealed container.  Never send bugs dry in a business envelope.  Finally, pack securely in a box and mail to me at :

Dick Fagerlund
PO Box 432
Veguita, NM 87062

We can recommend methods of controlling any insects that are pests, without the use of toxic pesticides if possible.

Please print and fill out an Identification Form and include $20 (cash, check or money order) for each type of bug to be identified.  Please allow 1-2 weeks for us to respond.
