Are earwigs dangerous?

No. Earwigs do not sting or transmit disease. Their pincers can pinch if handled, but they are not a health threat. Large infestations are primarily a nuisance.

Why do I have so many earwigs?

Earwigs are attracted to moisture, organic debris, and light. Irrigated landscaping, mulch, and leaf litter near your foundation create ideal harborage conditions.

Do earwigs damage homes?

Earwigs do not damage structures, but they can damage garden plants and seedlings. They are primarily a nuisance pest indoors.

How do I prevent earwigs from coming inside?

Reduce moisture near your foundation, move mulch and debris away from the house, seal gaps around doors and windows, and apply a perimeter barrier treatment.

How long does earwig treatment take to work?

You should see a significant reduction in earwig activity within 3-7 days of treatment.
