Information & Facts
Earwig Control Services
Earwigs are common household pests that can be alarming due to their appearance, especially their pincers. While earwigs are generally harmless to people, they can become a nuisance when they enter homes in large numbers. Earwigs prefer damp environments and often invade properties in search of moisture, shelter, and food.
Common Earwig Problems
Earwigs are most active at night and hide during the day in dark, moist areas. They are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, laundry rooms, and around doors and windows. Outdoors, they may damage plants, flowers, and garden beds.
Common signs of an earwig problem include:
- Earwigs seen crawling indoors, especially at night
- Increased activity in damp or humid areas
- Earwigs found in sinks, tubs, or floor drains
- Damage to garden plants or seedlings near the home
Why Earwigs Enter Buildings
Earwigs are attracted to:
- Excess moisture and high humidity
- Dark, sheltered spaces
- Organic debris, mulch, and leaf litter
- Cracks, gaps, and poorly sealed entry points
When outdoor conditions become unfavorable, earwigs may move indoors to seek shelter.
