Huge prune coming

[edit]

Moose? A "common household pest". Really? All over the livingroom, are they? I'm about to trim this down to a small handful of items. Returning additions can be sourced. Objections? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:20, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't wait. I saw camel and beaver and that was it. Pruned! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:29, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Canada, moose are the worst household pests. Common though? Not so much. ;) -- Cheers, Riley 05:22, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello my old friend. It's been years. Hope you're well. ....Moose, you say? In Canada, cockroaches and maybe termites must be the worst. And why moose? Not common, but when they are a pest, what do they do exactly? Chew on the wires? Come up the bathtub drain? Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:39, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Quite well, I hope all is well for you too. Glad to see you're not blocked out completely by the Great Firewall of China. You'd have to see it to believe it, they cause quite a mooseance! I always try to be nice to them, otherwise they take it out on my car. -- Cheers, Riley 05:46, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A "mooseance", eh? Not bad, not bad. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:53, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page needs rewrite

[edit]

This page needs a rewrite. It looks like it contains original research and the whole of it is virtually unsourced. Every entry in this list should be backed by a source that indicates that the animal or invertebrate is a household pest and such information should be verifiable.

Definition

[edit]

Invertebrate: "Invertebrates are animals"; there is no WikiProject for invertebrates in general except WP Animals.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 17:35, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What about humans?

[edit]

Surely humans meet the definition of "have a history of living, invading, causing damage, eating human foods, acting as disease vectors, or causing other harms in human habitation structures"? Phil Bridger (talk) 09:59, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well exactly, the list criterion is hopeless, including almost anything really. Unfixable WP:OR. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
