Earwig Control
Small pincers, big nuisance.
Earwigs have a reputation for being creepy, but they’re not as scary as they look. While they don’t burrow into ears, their pincer-like forceps and fast movements make them an unwelcome sight in homes. These moisture-loving pests are most active at night, hiding in mulch beds, under rocks, and damp corners of homes.
Did you know?
Despite their intimidating pincers, earwigs rarely bite and mostly use them for defense against other insects.
Why earwigs invade
Earwigs thrive in cool, damp environments, making bathrooms, basements, and gardens ideal hiding spots. They’re drawn to moisture and organic debris and often find their way inside through small cracks near doors, windows, and foundation gaps.
