About this app

MyPestGuide Reporter lets you quickly report your observations instantly to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD). Everyone can help map pests by using your phone to make reports with up to four photos from your camera or gallery and gps. Our experts will attempt to identify your pest and reply back to your device. You can also create reports online using the MyPestGuide website.

By using the MyPestGuide suite of apps you will be supporting your local community and defending Western Australia’s primary industries and environment. This is an important step in managing invasive species, stopping disease outbreaks, supporting our quality food producers and accessing trade markets.

Ratings and reviews

The reports I've submitted have always been quickly responded to, and provide extremely useful and interesting answers. It's great to learn of native endemic species and to be aware of the "feral" pests. Well done MyPestGuide!

Thank you everyone who responds to reports on this app. The responses are always so interesting and informative, and tremendously helpful! The app itself is a little awkward, it doesn't seem to save location data so when I turn my location off after using the app, it disappears from my reports. But it is simple to use and that combined with the quality of responses means I can't recommend this app enough.

When I downloaded this, I thought the WA was for Washington, but it's actually Western Australia. I didnt see that i couldn't submit, even though I'm in the US, so I did. I got a response very quickly, when I honestly wasn't sure if I should even expect one. They told me what my insects were and some helpful information that certainly relieved my mind. Thank you for your help! Great app!
