Although Earwigs sometimes appear in large populations, these insects are considered temporary pests. The name comes from an old European superstition that Earwigs enter the ears of a sleeping person and bore into the brain, oooch! Of course, this superstition is unfounded, but they are still a pest that must be dealt with. Let Pest Products Online show you how to get rid of earwigs in and around your home.  Our professional products are guaranteed to control your earwig problem.

Habitat

They are active at night and are attracted to light. They hide during the day in moist, shady places beneath stones, sidewalks, and debris. These insects feed on mosses, lichens, algae, fungi, insects, spiders, and mites. They also feed on fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and field plants. Often, Earwigs migrate indoors during hot, dry weather.  We can provide you the information necessary on how to get rid of earwigs.

Health Risks

They are harmless to humans and animals.

Property Damage

Outside, they can damage flowers, vegetables, fruits, and other plants, giving the leaves a ragged appearance with small, irregular holes.

Prevention

Since Earwigs are attracted to light, reduce lighting around doors and windows and other potential entry sites. Seal cracks around doors and windows.
