HOW TO GET RID OF EARWIGS

Earwigs can easily be recognized by their pincers at the end of their abdomen. Their pinchers are harmless to humans. It is only a myth that Earwigs bite. Earwigs are dark reddish-brown, with light brown legs, and are about 5/8'' long. Earwigs lay their eggs under the soil about 2-3'' deep. Earwigs need moisture to survive and are mostly active at night, eating dead insects and decomposing plant materials. They are also attracted to light. If Earwigs appear in the house, it is safe to say that they came from the outdoors through entry points (i.e. doors, crack and crevice, window sills, drains, utility pipes and windows).

EARWIG INSPECTION

During the day, Earwigs can be found under organic matter (i.e. mulch, pine straw, leaf litter). They prefer dark and damp areas such as under sidewalks, and stones. They can come into homes through entry points like doors and windows, and they even go up the foundation.
