Report a pest today!
The information gathered by you helps to strengthen and support Australia’s growers to access and gain new trade markets.
MyPestGuide was developed to encourage everyone (public, industry and government) to report observations of any common, interesting or possibly exotic pests, as well as the absence of pests across Australia.
Get to know the MyPestGuideTM family
Check out the MyPestGuide family of FREE support tools built just for you! They are:
- a dedicated reporting app MyPestGuide Reporter
- three pest identification field guides
- an app for reporting weeds (select from the project list > MyWeedWatcher)
- a decision management tool for aphids in crops CropScout
- and your very own community website: mypestguide.agric.wa.gov.au
Together these tools help everyone to report the organisms they see to the department and learn from the department about these organisms.
Join the MyPestGuideTM community
A knowledgeable community can get on top of pest problems quickly! So, reduce the cost of eradicating and managing pests long-term. Join in and be a part of the pest reporting community.
Help monitor, manage and keep exotic pests out of Australia.
The MyPestguide on-line community web page is where the shared reports are mapped and available for the community to learn more about what pests are being reported.
This is to educate the community in pests and encourage everyone to become involved in reporting and defending Australia’s agriculture industry and protecting the natural environment from exotic pests.
