A Pest is a Mob that has a chance of appearing when a Player breaks a crop in ⏣ The Garden. When vacuumed, players gain 1 Pest as a currency, which can be viewed through Vacuums and used at Pesthunter Phillip.

Spawning

Starting at Garden Level V, a Pest has a 0.2% (1 in 500)) chance to spawn whenever a Player breaks a crop in ⏣ The Garden. The chance can be increased by 50% using the  Sprayonator, and 15% using the  Atmospheric Filter during Autumn, making the highest possible chance 0.47% (1 in 212.5).

The Pest spawned is not affected by the crop broken, but the chance for specific Pests can be increased via the  Sprayonator or playing Pest Vinyls using the  InfiniVacuum™ Hooverius.

Pests may spawn in the plot the player is farming in or any directly adjacent plot (except diagonally). By default, only one Pest will spawn at a time. This can be increased via ൠ Bonus Pest Chance. Pests can also spawn while the player is outside ⏣ The Garden, up to one per hour.

Traps

If the player has  Pest Traps,  Mouse Traps, or  Vermin Traps placed down, Pests can also spawn in them. Whether the player is online or offline, the spawn rate is about 15 minutes per Pest. The amount of Pests caught is the same for all placed traps, although the specific Pests may differ. On top of the regular 13 Pests, a Field Mouse can spawn in  Pest Traps with a base chance of 2.78% (1 in 36),  Mouse Traps with a base chance of 7.89% (1 in 12.67), and  Vermin Traps with a base chance of 10.26% (1 in 9.75). The chance for a Field Mouse is affected by ❃ Tracking.

Spawning Pests in traps requires the usage of a Sprayonator material. The Pests affected by the material are 12x more likely to appear than others.

Spawn cooldown

The default cooldown between Pest spawns is 5 minutes. It can be modified using the following:

Source	Modifier
Finnegan (Pest Eradicator)	-20%
Pesthunter's Necklace	-10%
Pesthunter's Cloak	-10%
Pest Vest	-15%
Pesthunter's Belt	-10%
Pesthunter's Gloves	-10%
Squeaky on Equipment	-2.5% each
Pest Repellent	2x
Pest Repellent MAX	4x

Reductions stack additively.

The minimum achievable cooldown is 1 minutes 15 seconds (2 minutes 15 seconds without Finnegan), while the maximum is 20 minutes.

 Pest Repellent and  Pest Repellent MAX do not stack, with the latter taking priority.

Attracting Specific Pests

Disclaimer
The information on weights is based on limited publicly available information and in-game testing, and may not be fully accurate.

Specific Pests can be attracted using the  Sprayonator and the  InfiniVacuum™ Hooverius's Stereo Harmony ability.

By default, each Pest has an equal chance to be chosen whenever one spawns. However, the Field Mouse and Lunar Moth can only spawn in traps. The chances be modified in several ways:

Method	Effect
Sprayonator	Increases the weight of targeted Pests by 12x.
InfiniVacuum™ Hooverius Stereo Harmony	Increases the weight of the targeted Pest by 2x.
Mosquito Pet Smooth Jazz	Increases the effectiveness of Stereo Harmony by 0.5%-50% (bringing its weight increase to 2.01x-3x).
Mouse Trap	Increases the weight of Field Mouse in the trap by 3x.
Vermin Trap	Increases the weight of Field Mouse in the trap by 4x.
❃ Tracking	Increases the weight of Field Mouse in  Pest Traps,  Mouse Traps, and  Vermin Traps by 1% per 1 ❃ Tracking.

Pests

All Pests have the ൠ Pest mob type, the Field Mouse and Lunar Moth have the ❃ Elusive mob type.

Behavior

When 4 or more Pests are on ⏣ The Garden at once, the player's ☘ Farming Fortune (as well as each crop-specific fortune stat) is reduced, first by 5% and then multiples of 15%. ☘ Farming Fortune will continue to be lost for each additional Pest, up to 8, after which no more Pests will spawn until at least one is killed. The maximum ☘ Farming Fortune loss is 75%.

For each 100 ൠ Bonus Pest Chance the player has, they can have 1 more Pest on their Garden before their ☘ Farming Fortune starts being reduced. The reduction then starts at 5% and scales from there.

Pest-specific

Earthworm

Earthworms burrow up to two times—when they reach 66.6% ❤ Health and 33.3% ❤ Health, respectively. This can be reduced to one time or bypassed entirely by dealing enough damage.

Moth

Moths are attracted to lamps, such as  Glowstone and  Beacon Block.

Dragonfly and Firefly

Dragonflies can only spawn during the day, while Fireflies can only spawn during the night.

Lunar Moth

Lunar Moths have a 100% chance to spawn in traps that have Moondew as bait. They do not spawn in traps with other bait.

Game Message

Uses

Pests can be exchanged at Pesthunter Phillip to gain temporary 5 ☘ Farming Fortune for 30 minutes per consumed Pest, up to 40 Pests. They can also be exchanged for various items in Pesthunter Phillip's shop.

Drops

Guaranteed Drops

Each Pest drops a specific number of its respective crop, this number is affected by ☘ Farming Fortune and the crop's respective ☘ Crop Fortune.

Field Mouse always drops one of these crops. It does not consider ☘ Crop Fortune, but the crop drops are 1.5x of those from a regular Pest.

Killing a Pest also rewards the player with 5 Bits, multiplied by their Bits Multiplier.

Rare Drops

All Pest drops with a base drop chance lower than 5% have their drop rate increased by ☘ Farming Fortune and ☘ Crop Fortune (its respective pests only).

The formula for drop chance for rare drops is:

${\displaystyle {\text{Drop Chance}}={\text{Base Drop Chance}}\times \left(1+{\frac {{\text{Farming Fortune}}+{\text{Crop Fortune}}}{600}}\right)}$

For pet drops ( Rat Pet and  Slug Pet), the formula also includes ♣ Pet Luck:

${\displaystyle {\text{Drop Chance}}={\text{Base Drop Chance}}\times \left(1+{\frac {{\text{Farming Fortune}}+{\text{Crop Fortune}}+{\text{Pet Luck}}}{600}}\right)}$

Tips

• It is possible to swap to a farming tool or  Daedalus Blade before a Pest dies to gain additional ☘ Farming Fortune.
  • This is significantly easier to do using a Pocket Black Hole.
  • Looting does not apply to Pest drops, even if killed this way.

Trivia

• While most non-Pest-specific damage sources do not grant extra damage towards Pests, the  Book of Progression's Extra Infliction ability does.
• The base mob type is a  Bat for Pests that can fly ( Fly,  Mosquito,  Moth) and  Silverfish for the rest.
• If Pests manage to get out of the plot they spawned in, they will be teleported back into the correct plot within a few seconds.
• While the formula for pet drops includes ♣ Pet Luck, it being also divided by 600 rather than 100 makes this stat 6x less potent in increasing drop rates compared to the amount it normally affects pet drops that use ✯ Magic Find.
• During testing on the Alpha Hypixel Network, Pesthunter Phillip allowed an option to prevent a Pest from spawning during Jacob's Farming Contests.
• Despite the existence of  Dragonfly Shard,  Firefly Shard and  Praying Mantis Shard, hunting those pests yield  Pest Shards instead.

Notes

• The bonus from Garden bestiary functions differently with different effects:
  • Each tier of each of the mobs, including Timestalk Clone and Zombuddy grants 0.4 ☘, up to a total of 94 ☘ Farming Fortune.
  •  Hedgehog Pet's Hunter's Insight and  Brown Bandana ignore the above mobs (as they're not Pests), leading to a total of 147 ☘ Farming Fortune and 42 ൠ Bonus Pest Chance respectively.
