Earwigs
Dealing with Earwigs in Your Home or Yard?
Earwigs are one of the most unsettling pests to find in your home or garden. With their long bodies and pincers, they may look intimidating, but they’re mostly a nuisance pest. However, when they invade in large numbers, they can damage plants, contaminate food, and create an unpleasant infestation.
At Lakeside Pest Control, we provide professional earwig control services in Green Bay, Appleton, Neenah, Manitowoc, Waupaca, and surrounding areas.
What Are Earwigs?
Earwigs are small, dark brown or black insects with noticeable pincers (cerci) at the end of their bodies. Despite old myths, they do not crawl into ears or burrow into skin. However, they can become a nuisance when they invade homes, especially during warm, humid months.
Why Are Earwigs a Problem?
*Invade homes in search of moisture and shelter.
*Feed on plants, damaging gardens and flowers.
*Hide in dark, damp areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces.
*Can pinch if handled, though they are not dangerous.
Signs of an Earwig Infestation
You may have an earwig problem if you notice:
- Earwigs crawling around sinks, bathtubs, and basements.
- Damaged leaves, flowers, or seedlings in your garden.
- Earwigs hiding under mulch, rocks, or moist areas outside.
- Insects crawling indoors at night near entry points.
