Prevent It

Keep earwigs out before they wander in.

Earwigs sneak into damp, dark spots where they don’t belong. Our service keeps barriers in place so they stay outside, not in your home. Each visit adds another layer of protection, keeping things comfortable season after season.

Stop it before it starts

Signs you've got earwigs.

Sightings

Spotting earwigs crawling around bathrooms, kitchens, or damp spots is a giveaway.

Droppings

Tiny dark specks, like pepper grains, may show where earwigs have been active.

Plant damage

Chewed-up leaves or flowers outdoors can mean earwigs are hanging around.

Sheltered spots

Mulch, potted plants, and piles of debris are favorite earwig hideouts.

Helpful tips.

1. Seal entry points

Check around doors, windows, and cracks. A little caulk or weather strip keeps earwigs where they belong—outside.

2. Use amber lights

Earwigs are attracted to bright white lights at night. Switching to amber bulbs outdoors helps reduce their draw to your home.

3. Fix water leaks

Earwigs thrive in damp spots. Repair leaky faucets, pipes, or irrigation to dry up their favorite hiding places.

4. Keep garbage sealed

Earwigs love decaying organic matter. Use bins with tight lids and keep waste areas clean to limit their food sources.

5. Reduce clutter

Earwigs can slip into piles of boxes, papers, or laundry. Keeping areas tidy gives them fewer places to hide.

6. Trim vegetation

Trim back vegetation, rake up leaves, and keep mulch or debris away from your foundation to eliminate earwig harborage.
