Do you need to identify a pest you found in your home? Want to learn more about a specific pest? Or just like playing games where you get to be the pest "exterminator"?

If so, this article is for you!

Following are a number of apps from the Apple App Store about pests. Included are

• Pest identification by pest control companies: Take a photo and send it in for identification and/or recommendations.
• Education and Reference: Learn more about a vast array of pests through scientific field guides and educational resources and games.

• Designed for Professionals: These apps include publications that are geared toward pest management professionals, but can be a handy resource for anyone interested in pest control or the pest control industry
• Games (of course!): From free to $6.99, the app store has so many insect, animal, and creature games, it was impossible to list them all. So included in this section are those focused specifically toward "pests," plus a selection of other insect-related games.

The app listings in each section are in alphabetical order, and each includes eight features: App name, created by, category, recommended ages, price, compatibility, description, and rating (out of a possible 5 stars). All listings are based on those available as of December 2013, and information is extracted or paraphrased directly from the app listing in the store.

Disclaimer: A listing in this article does not constitute endorsement or recommendation of any app. Article is created for fun.

Keep an eye out for an Android app article coming soon!
