What content is public
Public pest profiles are based on reviewed pest records. Uploaded photos, private results, and unreviewed AI matches are not turned into public pages.
Editorial policy
How Pest Or Not creates and reviews pest content.
Pest Or Not separates user-specific AI results from reviewed public pest guidance. This keeps identification results useful and public pages factual, stable, and accountable.
How AI is used
AI helps classify uploaded images and organize pest guidance. Verified pest information is shown separately from the AI identification result.
How guides are created
Guides address practical questions about identification, evidence, risk, first actions, treatment, and prevention.
Updates and corrections
Content is reviewed as the knowledge base, official guidance, and user evidence improve. Important corrections are applied across supported languages.
Safety boundaries
Pest Or Not is informational. It does not replace medical advice, product labels, local rules, or a licensed inspection when risk is high.
Expert review
High-impact pages prioritize official sources, clear review dates, cautious claims, and additional specialist review where appropriate.

Reference standards
We use official pest-management and public-health resources for cautious, practical guidance. These sources do not replace local rules, product labels, or inspections.
Topic-specific sources
Specialist references appear only where relevant. Rodent sources, for example, are not used to support bed bug or termite claims.
