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

Spawning[]

Starting at Garden Level V, a Pest has a 1/500 (0.2%) chance to spawn whenever a Player breaks a crop in The Garden. This can be reduced to 1/425 by the Atmospheric Filter Atmospheric Filter during Autumn. The Pest spawned is not affected by the Crop broken, but specific Pests can become more like via Sprayonator Sprayonator or playing Pest Vinyls using 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 Trap Pest Traps or Mouse Trap Mouse Traps placed down, Pests can also spawn in them with the offline spawn rate being 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 10 Pests, Field Mouse can spawn in Pest Traps with the base chance of 3.03% and Mouse Traps with the base chance of 8.57%, both affected by the Enderman Slayer IX perk.

Spawning Pests in traps requires the usage of a Sprayonator material, the 2 pests affected by that 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 Notes

Sprayonator Sprayonator

0.5x
Finnegan Sprite Finnegan (Pest Eradicator) 0.5x Only while on a sprayed plot
Pest Vest Pest Vest 0.8x

Pesthunter's Gloves Pesthunter's Gloves

The minimum achievable cooldown is approximately 57 seconds (1 minute 54 seconds without Finnegan Sprite Finnegan), while the maximum is 20 minutes.

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

Attracting Specific Pests[]

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

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.

Note that 400 ൠ Bonus Pest Chance or above is currently unobtainable.

Drops[]

Guaranteed Drops[]

Field Mouse Sprite Field Mouse always drops one of these crops, with the same scaling.

Killing a Pest also rewards the player with 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:

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

Trivia[]

  • Additive damage bonuses from sources other than vacuums do not work on Pests, but multiplicative bonuses such as the Book of Progression Book of Progression's Extra Infliction ability do.
  • The base mob type is a Bat Bat for Pests that can fly (Fly Fly, Mosquito Mosquito, Moth Moth) and Silverfish Silverfish for the rest.
  • The ☘ Farming Fortune for drops is calculated after the Pest dies.
    • This means that killing at 4 Pests does not negatively impact any Pest drops, but killing at 5 or more Pests does (assuming less than 100 ൠ Bonus Pest Chance).
  • 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.
  • It is possible to swap to a farming tool before a Pest dies to get more ☘ Farming Fortune, but it is difficult to pull off.
  • 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 Sprite Pesthunter Phillip allowed an option to prevent a Pest from spawning during Jacob's Farming Contests.
