Can you promote in r/pestcontrol?

Welcome! This is a place to ask PRO techs and knowledgeable enthusiasts how to solve pest issues. When posting, clear closeup pics of the BACK of the insect are a must. Please give your location (or country if outside the US). Also, if you already know what pest you have, go to: r/Pest_Management. All the treatment links are there.

The short answer

Answer as a qualified professional focusing on helpful, non-promotional guidance; disclose your affiliation briefly only if relevant and avoid company links, pricing, or solicitations.

What works here

  • Answer questions if you are a qualified pro
  • Discuss techniques, products, equipment, and management advice
  • Share training or management technique content (non-commercial)
  • Participate in professional discussions without promoting services

What gets posts removed

  • Offering personal pest services or soliciting customers
  • Promoting companies, YouTube channels, blogs, podcasts, or surveys
  • Using your company name as your username or posting ads/links
  • Providing off-label or dangerous advice that violates labels
