Earwig Control
If a mysterious pest has destroyed your garden or indoor plants, it’s a good bet earwigs are to blame.
Earwig Infestations
Adult earwigs look scary, growing to about an inch and a half long with two large pincers, but they are harmless and don’t bite or sting. These pests love to hang outside, thriving on both fresh and decaying vegetation, but they easily invade your property through cracks or gaps in the perimeter to find warmer shelter. Once inside, they hide in damp, cluttered areas near water sources, like kitchens and basements.
Identifying the Invaders
There are over 1,800 earwig species worldwide, with the most common being European, red-legged, and U.S. striped earwigs. The red-legged and U.S. striped species are typically found in the South due to warmer temperatures.
Entry Points & Hiding Spots
Earwigs enter through cracks or gaps like unscreened vents, crawl space doors, or foundation gaps. They can also be brought in covertly with newspapers or lumber and love to hide in potted plants, tree holes, or damp, cluttered basements.
Targeting Extermination
Earwigs have demanding appetites and are known to terrorize gardens and devour potted plants. Scheduling an earwig pest control appointment will reveal trouble areas these pests might be using to invade and remove them efficiently.
