Pest Control For Earwigs

Earwigs can be a serious problem for home owners and even commercial establishments such as grocery stores. An earwig’s pincers are valueless. But the remaining visible parts of their body contain strong muscles that make it possible for them to climb walls and other surfaces. They are also known to bite, although their bite is not as severe as that of other domestic pests like cockroaches or mosquitoes. This pest comes from the same insect family as silverfish and sowbugs, meaning they are related to pillbugs and sowbugs or woodlice and Jerusalem crickets.

Pest Control For Earwigs

If you’re having a problem with earwigs in your yard, you can help reduce their numbers by hiring a pest control company. These bugs are not harmful to humans but they can be bothersome to have around because they like damp areas and will often come out of the ground in the spring and fall. They look like long-legged beetles and are about 1/4 inch long.

Earwig eggs are laid in the soil and hatch from April through May or June through July depending on where you live. If there is too much moisture or if it rains too much during the spring, the earwigs may be able to overwinter outside instead of going into hibernation until the next year. You may see them again in January or February if there was a lot of rain during those months as well.

Earwig larvae are called nymphs and resemble small brown grubs with six legs instead of eight like adults do. They feed on decaying organic matter such as leaves, grass clippings and dead insects found on sidewalks or driveways after being crushed by cars or trucks driving over them during heavy rains. The nymphs usually remain underground until they become adults at which point they emerge from beneath rocks or logs.

Our pest control for earwigs is unique because we use a combination of chemicals and natural methods to get rid of them.

The most efficient way to get rid of earwigs is by using pesticides and other chemicals. Common products include diatomaceous earth, boric acid, roach powders, and many more. These products will kill the adult earwigs quickly but they can be dangerous if not used correctly.

Our second method is to use natural methods such as sticky traps that will catch the earwig larvae. This method is great because it doesn’t involve any chemicals or pesticides but it may take longer than killing adult earwigs with pesticides.
