Earwigs Pest Control

Earwigs are small insects that can invade your home, often causing distress due to their unsightly appearance and the potential for crop and plant damage. Our expert earwig pest control services ensure effective treatment and lasting protection, keeping your home earwig-free.

How to Identify Earwig Infestations in Your Home

Detecting an earwig infestation early can help prevent larger issues. Look out for these signs in common infestation sites:

Bathrooms & Damp Areas

Earwigs are attracted to moisture, often hiding in bathrooms and damp basements. Look for small, dark insects with pincers near sinks and tubs.

Outdoor Plants & Gardens

They feed on plants, so check for damaged leaves or visible earwigs on outdoor plants, especially in humid areas.

Under Rocks & Woodpiles

Earwigs seek shelter under stones, rocks, and woodpiles. Move these items carefully to spot any lurking earwigs.

Cracks & Crevices Indoors

These pests may sneak indoors through cracks in walls or foundations. Check around baseboards and corners for earwig activity.

Kitchens & Storage Areas

Earwigs might enter kitchens in search of food. Look for them near food cabinets or garbage areas.

Why Do Earwigs Invade Home?

Earwigs often enter homes to seek warmth, food, and moisture, especially during extreme weather conditions. While they are not dangerous, an earwig infestation can be alarming and unsightly for homeowners. Their presence is typically a sign of high humidity, and they may multiply if left untreated.

Prevention Tips

Repair leaky faucets and pipes to reduce moisture.
Seal cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and foundations.
Keep indoor spaces well-ventilated and dry.
Reduce outdoor lighting to minimize attraction to your home.
Trim plants and keep mulch away from your home’s foundation.

Reducing indoor humidity levels and addressing moisture sources like leaky pipes and damp basements can make the environment less inviting for earwigs.

Perimeter Treatment

Applying insecticides around the home’s perimeter acts as a barrier, helping to prevent earwigs from entering indoor spaces.

Sealing Cracks & Crevices

Sealing up gaps in walls, foundations, and around windows can block earwig entry points, significantly reducing indoor infestations.
