Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: July 2026
This page explains how ScanaBug may earn revenue through advertising and affiliate relationships, in line with the guidance of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and equivalent advertising standards bodies in other countries.
Current status: ScanaBug does not currently participate in any affiliate programs and does not display third-party advertising. The identification tools, species information, and educational content on this site are entirely free of sponsored influence today. This page describes the policy we will follow, including inline link-level disclosure, if that changes in the future.
1. Affiliate Links
If we introduce them, some links on this site, for example links to pest control products, protective equipment, or related services, may be affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This does not influence which products or services we choose to mention; we would only link to products related to the pest and insect identification content on this site.
2. How to Identify Sponsored or Affiliate Content
Where a specific product recommendation, review, or link is part of an affiliate relationship, we mark it clearly at the point it appears, using language such as "Affiliate link" or "We may earn a commission from this link." Our core identification tools, species information, and educational content are never sponsored and are not influenced by advertising relationships.
3. Advertising on This Site
If we display third-party advertisements through advertising networks in the future, those ads would be selected by the ad network based on factors that may include page content and, where you have consented, your browsing behavior, as described in our Cookie Policy. We would not control the specific ads shown and would not be responsible for the content, claims, or products of third-party advertisers.
4. Editorial Independence
Our species identification results, danger classifications, and educational content are based on entomological and arachnological reference sources and expert review, not on advertiser relationships. No advertiser has editorial control over our identification tool or content.
