Name Dat Bug — AI Pest & Insect Identification with EPA Safety Data
Name Dat Bug uses AI vision to instantly identify insects, arachnids, and household pests from a single photo — then delivers EPA-registered treatment protocols, full lifecycle data, disease-risk assessment, and DIY pest control plans. Backed by a Board Certified Entomologist.
What makes Name Dat Bug different from other bug identifiers?
Most bug-identifier apps stop at naming the species. Name Dat Bug goes further by cross-referencing every identification against real U.S. EPA pesticide registration data, so every treatment recommendation you receive is environmentally safe, legally registered, and appropriate for your specific pest — not just a generic suggestion.
- EPA-integrated treatment protocols: Pesticide and treatment recommendations are sourced from the U.S. EPA's official pesticide registration database, not guessed by AI alone.
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) guidance: Biocontrol, cultural, mechanical, and chemical interventions are ranked from least to most invasive — the way professional pest managers work.
- Confidence scoring: Every identification includes a percentage confidence score so you know how certain the AI is before acting.
- Full lifecycle analysis: Understand each life stage — egg, larva, nymph, adult — so treatments target the most vulnerable point in the pest's development.
- Disease-risk assessment: Know which pests carry pathogens, trigger allergies, or threaten structural damage before they become a bigger problem.
- Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) escalation: When the AI is uncertain, a credentialed human expert reviews your case and responds directly.
- DIY pest plans with task reminders: Receive a structured, step-by-step DIY plan with optional email reminders so follow-up treatments don't slip through the cracks.
- BugDex personal library: Every scan is automatically saved to your searchable bug library for future reference and property records.
Who is Name Dat Bug for?

How does the EPA integration work?
After identifying your pest, Name Dat Bug queries the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's pesticide registration database (ORDS / PPLS) to retrieve products that are legally registered for use against that specific pest. Each product listing includes the active ingredient, the official EPA label document link, and application guidance — so you can verify safety and legality before purchasing or applying any pesticide. This is the same database professional pest management companies use when selecting EPA-compliant products.
