What Are Earwigs?

Earwigs got their name from the myth that they crawl into sleeping people's ears and tunnel into their brains. The long cerci, or clippers, on their backsides easily identify an earwig. Earwigs hide during the day and feeds on leaves, flowers, fruits, mold and insects at night. These insects live together outdoors in large numbers. They can be found under piles of lawn debris, mulch or in tree holes. They gain entry to a structure through exterior cracks.

Earwig Pest Control Treatment

Earwigs fall under our general pest control treatment program. This starts with one of our expert technicians coming to your home or business to inspect the source of your pest problems. Once the source is determined, our technician will apply a low-toxicity pesticide barrier along the base of the walls in the interior. Another low-toxicity, mild pesticide will also be applied to the exterior of the home. After the initial treatment, we recommend beginning a regular pest treatment program, in which we return on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis to treat the exterior of your home to prevent pests from returning. This service is guaranteed to keep you pest free.
