''Bug Off!'' is a 2001 comedy science-fiction film directed by T.C. Christensen based on the Terri Fields book of the same name.
The film follows nine-year-old Krista is sick and tired of the teasing antics of his younger brother. Their parents go off on business trips, leaving them with the babysitter Mrs. Pickle Nickle. However, they eventually learn that she's actually an alien (her actual name is Xenogarfs). Even worse, she turns Tyler into a beetle and doesn't know how to turn him back into a human. Another alien, named Yendor, tries to capture Tyler. Krista has to protect her brother as she takes him to school and deals with the principal Mr. Alfred Willow and his assistant Alice Plimpton. She and her friend Jeff also work to fend off Yendor.
