Earwigs are not the type of insect anyone would like to encounter in their bathroom due to their menacing forceps that can cause anxiety in people. However, the notion that they earned their name from burrowing into the ears of humans while they slept to lay their eggs is simply a myth. Earwigs are usually found in areas where there is water, such as the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. Although they can wander around and sometimes be spotted in family rooms or bedrooms, the key to controlling earwigs is to remove the places where they hide.
Keeping earwigs away from your home can be as simple as regular landscaping. Clearing firewood piles, stones, logs, and other debris away from the foundation of your house can aid in this. Additionally, trimming shrubs and bushes near your home can reduce the amount of dampness, resulting in fewer bugs. While earwigs can invade many parts of your home, effective control requires several different products, which our technicians possess along with the necessary equipment to manage these pests.
