A household pest moves in, and most of the episode is spent trying to catch it. Hilarity Ensues. The expanded version of Eek, a Mouse!!, filling its shoes as a staple of the Dom Com, and usually showing up at least once in any given Work Com. The pest in question is usually either a mouse or Terrifying Pet Store Rat, but substitute other animals as needed, particularly in sci-fi and fantasy settings. Expect the cast to be outsmarted and Hoist by Their Own Petard at every turn — Mouse Traps may be employed, but will frequently be sworn off as cruel. If and when the characters do finally catch the animal, don't be surprised if What Measure Is a Non-Cute? kicks in and they end up keeping it as a pet, or releasing it outdoors... where it will usually bolt right back into the house during the closing credits. Basically, this is when the writers decided to try their hand at penning a Tom and Jerry episode. Most often used as a B-plot, in part because, much like in real life, not catching the pest is likely — meanwhile, the close quarters and Fire-Forged Friendships created by a common enemy can easily segue into other developments, in which case this can become a literal example of What Happened to the Mouse? Tends not apply to insect infestations, where residents are more likely to become The Thing That Would Not Leave at someone else's place while their own is being fumigated — compare Termite Trouble and Flea Episode instead. See also Fly Crazy and You Dirty Rat! Often lead to Roadrunner Vs Coyote-style hijinks, particularly in settings with a Resourceful Rodent, with a Funny Animal cast and substantial Furry Confusion. Contrast Adoring the Pests. |

The Penguins of Madagascar: In "Sting Operation", a hornet's nest shows up at the entrance to the Central Park Zoo. The hornets sting the Penguins whenever they try to remove it, and they intend to sting the visiting children as well. When the Penguins discover that Mort is too stupid to recognize when he is in pain, they use one of Kowalski's inventions to become ignorant to pain themselves in order to remove the nest. | |

The Backyardigans: Played with in "What's Bugging You", which has Tyrone and Uniqua as "pest controllers" trying to rid Tasha's mansion of the wormlike wormans, while trying to keep the "infestation" hidden from an inspection by "Mr. Spiffy" (Pablo) — Tasha won't be able to join the "Spiffy Club" if there are worms inside. This being The Backyardigans, it's mostly pretend, and the kids are friendly with the wormans in other episodes. | |

Farscape: "Beware of Dog" has the team hear a rumor of parasite infestation in a star system they've stopped in to resupply, and buy a rather detestable goblin-like creature called a vorc to eliminate it. Due to problems with the Translator Microbes they're short on details and, after sighting a monster belowdecks, begin to suspect the whole thing is a scam and the vorc is the actual parasite. In actuality, the parasite cocoons humanoid victims as food for its young and replaces them, while the vorc uses its goblin form to track and transforms into the monstrous form to kill. | |

NewsRadio: Subverted in "Rat Funeral", with the cast rushing to save Mike the Rat, their adopted office mascot, from the traps news director Dave has had set around the station. Dave eventually relents — only for the snap of a trap to go off in the background. Then double-subverted when it turns out the distinctively black-and-white Mike was not one rat but many, many similarly colored rats, and WNYX actually has quite the infestation on their hands. Everyone's a little grossed out after that. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: "Eek, An Urchin!" is about a sea urchin invading the kitchen in the Krusty Krab and the crew trying to find a way to get it out of the restaurant. In "Home Sweet Pineapple", a herd of nematode worms quite literally eat Spongebob out of house and home. They do, however, leave behind a seed, which Spongebob mistakes for a pebble, buries it, and cries over it, and from which a brand-new, fully-furnished pineapple house grows. Nematodes are later mentioned by a realtor who is helping Squidward sell his house ("Opposite Day"), and it's implied that they are the undersea version of termites. The nematodes make a return in "Best Day Ever", where they are shown to have infested the Krusty Krab. In "Jellyfish Jam", Spongebob allows a wild jellyfish to follow him home. When Spongebob wants to stop partying with it and go to bed, it invites all the other wild jellyfish in and causes all sorts of problems. In "Bunny Hunt", a jorunna parva (often called a 'sea bunny' due to its resemblance to a rabbit) invades Squidward's garden. He manages to get it out thanks to SpongeBob, who attempts to keep it as a pet. It ends up reproducing with another sea bunny, causing even more problems. |
