Pest Controller	comment	When you think of Attack Animal, you'll probably think of something big and/or badass, such as wolves, or tigers, or even dragons. Some people, however, have a kick with using... a certain creepier kind of creature. This trope is a Stock Superpower of manipulating pest animals like insects, arachnids, and rodents. The pests in question can range from tiny vermin to Big Creepy-Crawlies and Rodents of Unusual Size. Those who have this ability will often be portrayed as creepy themselves — they may be wicked, but they may just as often be just a decent, if quirky, fellow. Expect The Swarm and Zerg Rush to be their standard tactic. Sometimes the controller doesn't only control insects but is also made of them, in which case this overlaps with One to Million to One. If being in the million form is their default, see The Worm That Walks. They may also be Friend to Bugs (especially for the insects version), but not always. It can also overlap with Speaks Fluent Animal, if the controller is capable of not only commanding the animals but also communicating with them in their own language. If the pest controller is a pest itself, Nice Mice is the most-common variation. Subtrope of The Minion Master and Attack Animal. Super-Trope to Bee-Bee Gun; bees are indeed among the most popular choice of insect, for many good reasons. Can also overlap with Mass Hypnosis, since mind-controlling entire populations of tiny creatures is often the most common way to preform this power. See also The Infested, for when characters or creatures have swarms of smaller beings permanently living in their bodies.

Pest Controller / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: At one point in his superhero career, Henry Pym went by the name Ant-Man and wore a helmet that could control ants. In the movie the helmet itself only facilitates breathing when shrunken. Ant commands are issued via a small device worn over the ear that translates thought waves into an olfactory signal the ants can act on. There's also the minor villain Swarm, who is made entirely out of bees that he can direct and control at will. Played with in one Marvel Adventures issue when Spider-Man bluffs a criminal who is holding a hostage at gunpoint by declaring that he's "summoning the spiders". The criminal freaks out and surrenders. Another Spider-Man villain with this gimmick is Buck Mitty a.k.a. Humbug. Originally, he uses audio tapes and amplifiers to broadcast the noises of various insect species, which can incapacitate others or damage materials. Following his appearances in Deadpool, he begins to display the ability to communicate with insects, which he uses rather creatively in Heroes for Hire. Parodied with The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: she has the uncanny ability to control squirrels. It is actually rather powerful since she has defeated many superpowered beings with it, most notably Doctor Doom.

Pest Controller / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: A number of spells allow characters to control arthropods and other vermin, such as repel vermin, swarmsense (summons an insect swarm whose senses the caster can use as their own), creeping doom (summons four swarms of biting, ground-bound arthropods), insect plague (summons a varying number of wasp swarms) and vomit swarm (which does exactly what it sounds like it does; depending on your caster level, you can pick whether to hork up a swarm of spiders, wasps, or army ants). Azruverdas, giant beetles with human faces, can control vermin within their line of sight, although the creatures' low intelligence means that the commands need to be relatively direct — "go there", "come here", "attack that creature" and so on. The amount of vermin they can control at once is represented as equaling twice the azruverda's hit dice; in practice, this means they can control entire hordes of low-level pests or limited numbers of powerful monsters — such as, for instance, two purple worms at once. They also possess a number of magical abilities to aid them in doing this, such as the ability to summon swarms of wasps and spiders or to turn normal vermin gigantic. Ancient black dragons get Insect Plague as a spell-like ability, allowing them to summon swarms of wasps. Korir-kokembes are a type of dragon that hosts swarms of arthropods — either spiders, wasps or army ants — that live symbiotically in their gullets, which they can vomit forth to attack other creatures. They can also cast repel vermin, creeping doom and insect plague. Nunos have a strong affinity for ants: the swarming insects never attack them, while the nunos themselves can control them as they please and make their homes within and beneath anthills. Mites share a bond with vermin and can tame and control them, such as by controlling swarms of smaller vermin or using larger specimens as mounts. The thriae Bee People can summon bees when in need of aid. Swamp blights can summon and control swarms of insects, and are surrounded by a cloud of biting mosquitoes at all times. Wihsaak sahkils, being living embodiments of entomophobia, can cast vomit swarm at will and are immune to damage or distraction by swarms. Derghodaemons have three different spell-like abilities that summon swarms of insects, and are immune to damage from swarms themselves.

Pest Controller / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Druids and other spellcasters have long had access to spells that allow them to summon and direct swarms of insects and other pests. The Vermin Lord subclass from the Book of Vile Darkness specializes in this trope. Vermiurge are giant arthropods constantly surrounded by swarming clouds of venomous insects under their control. A Fifth Edition Unearthed Arcana introduces the Swarmkeeper subclass for the Ranger, whose main draw is their ability to summon a swarm of fey that take the form of tiny beasts. While these don't necessarily have to be vermin (animals such as rabbits and foxes qualify from the class description), it does also grant access to the spells Giant Insect and Insect Plague, which don't appear on the Ranger's Spell list normally.

Homer and his friends decide to follow along and see what happens, but since Homer has all the kids stuff cotton in their ears so they won't hear the music.

Pest Controller / int_ef52b53d	comment	The Authorities: One of the members of the titular investigative group is a college professor who specializes in bees. He keeps thousands of bees at their HQ, some in the van, and several specially-trained bees in a device that looks like a handheld metal detector wand. Each bee in the device is trained to react to a particular scent, and the device has a screen to let the professor know which bee reacted and how much. This turns the device into an extremely-powerful scanner. Additionally, when Rutherford is chasing a suspect, the professor unleashes the bees in the van to follow the suspect, whom he previously sprayed with a special compound that attracts them. The bees easily subdue the suspect and later prove invaluable when interrogating him, although the team's manager tells the professor that he can't use the latter option again for fear of a negative public image. However, they do their best to make sure that the YouTube video of Rutherford getting saved by bees goes viral.
