QuestionAnswer
I cannot identify the pest using the Problem Solver, how do I find out what it is? We have tried to include the most common pests in the Problem Solver, but if your pest is something not on it please contact us with a detailed description and a photo if possible and we may be able to identify it and give advice on control.
How do I identify the pest bug from bite marks on my skin? It is not usually possible to identify a pest bug from the bite marks on the skin. Red, raised and itchy bite marks made by bed bugsfleasmosquitoeswhitetail spiders and others can look very similar. Reactions to house dust mites and other allergens in the environment can also cause marks that look like bites.

These are questions that are commonly asked of Kiwicare Customer Service, store staff, sales team and others regarding pest control and Kiwicare products. We hope you will find the answers you are looking for here. If you don't, please contact us.
