Moths[]

Moths appear are bugs that appear in the same level as butterflies in Pest Control. They have the same appearance as butterflies, but the difference between them being the moths' wings. Moths have grey wings with grey spots on them. The moths' eyes are half-open.

In the level they appear in, moths are to be swatted and not the butterflies, since the butterflies will cause the player to lose.

Spiders swing around the screen, but the difficulty of stage comes from the speed of the spiders: each spider has different swinging speed, which makes them some of the spiders hard to kill. Spiders also appear in level 2.5, where the player has to swat egg sacs to release the spiders. Spiders appear on level 2.3 and 2.5.

Leaf cutter ants[]

Leaf cutter ants are bugs in Pest Control.

Leaf cutter ants appear similar to big red ants. Leaf cutter ants have three visible red legs, a body, and a head.

Leaf cutter ants have a regular sized head, with one visible white eye and a small black pupil, and two small red antennas on its head.

For leaf cutter ants, the player has to swat them when they are defenseless, while avoiding the leafs and flowers that are thrown at the player. Leaf cutter ants are very hard to avoid in groups, but once the player lessens their number, the rest of the group become more and more easy to kill. Leaf cutter ants appear in the jungle levels of Pest Control.

Grasshoppers[]

Grasshoppers are bugs in Pest Control. Grasshoppers have a long big green body with two green arms and one visible long green leg. At the end of the grasshopper's body is its head, which appears big and green with one visible white eye half-opened, a black pupil, and a pair of green antennas on their head.

In game, every grasshopper jumps at a different time, a different place, and at a different height. They stand at the start of the level at the bottom of the level, but at that point are currently not visible. Then, they jump from the bottom of the level to the middle or to the top, and then they fall down quickly. They appear on level 3.1.

Cactus grubs are yellow grubs with that have two visible dark yellow lines and a black head with two white small eyes that have two black pupils; the other part of cactus grub's body is not visible.

Locusts[]

This section is about locusts from Pest Control. For locusts from Off the Rails, please see Locusts.

Locusts are bugs that appear only in the desert levels of Pest Control. Locusts resemble grasshoppers, but unlike grasshoppers, locusts they are brown, have a lot of dark brown lines in their body, and have opened eyes and a pair of long light brown wings.

Locusts fly across the screen at high speeds, making it hard to hit them, though it can be done quickly if the player places the cursor in the middle of the stage and swats at the right time, thus making it easy to complete the level.

Ants[]

Ants are bugs in Pest Control. They look like normal red ants, ants consisting of three parts. The first part is normal, with a pair of white eyes and two black pupils. The second part is smaller than the first part, and there are four red legs. The third part is the biggest.

The player has thirty seconds to swat 150 ants. The massive number often leaves the player with a lot ants remaining once thirty seconds elapses.

Dung beetles[]

Dung beetles are bugs in Pest Control, found on level 3.7. Dung beetles look like giant dark brown beetles with two white eyes and black pupils. They have 4 legs and two hands that look like spikes, and two more spikes above their head.

Dung beetles bounce through the level, starting on the left hand corner. Dung beetles are pretty bulky and their dung balls will follow them as the bugs spring through the level.

Stag beetle[]

The stag beetle is one of the most difficult and hard to beat pests in Pest Control. The stag beetle is a giant beetle that stands in the middle right if the stage. It has no way to defend itself. This is probably because the player has to kill it in 15 seconds, which can be difficult since it is very hard for the player to swat that fast.

When the player damages the stag beetle, cracks can be seen on it, and when the giant beetle is dead, it falls off the screen.

Strategy[]

A very easy way to defeat the stag beetle is for the player to hold their mouse in the right hand, then when they come to the level, rapidly tap the left mouse button of the mouse with the index finger of their left hand. This will usually kill the stag beetle in ten seconds.

Fireflies[]

Fireflies are bugs in Pest Control. Fireflies appear like normal flies, but have the ability to light up. When lit, fireflies are invulnerable and when swatted will hurt the player instead. The level fireflies appear in is difficult to complete, since the flies have to be swatted while unlit and the player has to kill them all in a certain time limit.

Slugs[]

Slugs are bugs in Pest Control that appear on level 4.4. They look like big and thick dark green slugs with two small white eyes and two black pupils. When the level starts, the slug is placed off the screen. In a matter of seconds, the slug will fall down the screen, and will have to be swatted. If the player misses and the slug falls off the screen, the player will fail the level.

Glowing mites[]

Glowing mites are a type of bug that appears on level 4.7 of Pest Control. They look like small rectangular dark blue insects with two small white eyes, a light blue part in the middle, and two legs at each side of the insect.

Glowing mites have two stages, invisible and glowing. Glowing mites can only be swatted while they are visible. To complete the level, the player will have to swat at least four mites per second.

Baby silverfish[]

Baby silverfish are bugs in Pest Control that appear alongside the silverfish boss. Baby silverfish have two appearances, glowing and non-glowing, although the non-glowing and the glowing silverfish have the same form. Baby silverfish have a small head that looks like a circle where there are two big eyes with two pupils, this head having two long antennas.

The second part of the silverfish is bigger than the head, this being where there are two arms. The third part of the silverfish is similar to the second, after this third part coming two more smaller parts. The three last parts have a thin leg on each side, and the last part has at the end three long tails. The only difference between glowing baby silverfish and non-glowing baby silverfish is that the colour is darker or lighter.

If the player touches a glowing baby silverfish, they will lose a life. Touching a non-glowing baby silverfish will not harm the player, this type of silverfish able to be swatted and killed.
