FTC Disclosure

Regional Pest Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

What This Means

When you click on product links on this site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you.

Our Promise

  • We only recommend products we’ve researched and believe are genuinely useful
  • Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content
  • We clearly label product recommendation posts
  • We provide honest assessments, including cons and alternatives

Other Revenue

We also sell digital printables (checklists, identification guides) through Gumroad. These are clearly marked as paid products.

How We Select Products to Recommend

Our product recommendations are based on:

  • Active ingredient research — We look at what active ingredients have strong efficacy data, appropriate safety profiles, and match the target pest
  • User reviews and real-world feedback — We consider verified purchaser reviews and feedback from pest management communities
  • Product quality and availability — We prefer widely available products with established track records over novel or unproven options
  • Value — We consider cost relative to efficacy. The most expensive product is not always the most effective

We do not recommend products based on commission rate. Products with higher commission rates are not given preferential placement or review treatment.

Transparency in Product Posts

Posts that primarily review or recommend commercial products are typically labeled as such (e.g., “Best [Product Category] Products” in the title). These posts contain affiliate links. We believe readers deserve to know when we’re recommending products we may earn commissions on.

Informational posts (identification guides, prevention strategies, general pest biology) may also reference products, but the primary purpose is education.

Affiliate Program Participation

We currently participate in:

  • Amazon Associates — the primary affiliate program. Commissions typically range from 1% to 10% depending on product category
  • Other affiliate programs may be added as the site grows

We are not currently paid for sponsored posts, paid placements, or advertiser-sponsored content. If this changes, we will disclose it clearly.
