Earwigs

Earwigs are small insects that feed at night. They are considered pests because they eat small holes in leaves and flowers. However, Earwigs are also considered beneficial because they are scavengers feeding on decaying plant matter as well as insect larvae, snails, and aphids.

Earwigs grow to 3/4 inch with slender red-brown long flat bodies. They have a pair of sharp pincers at the tail end that they use for killing prey and for mating. In the winter time a female will lay 20-50 cream colored eggs in underground nests. Newly hatched nymphs will appear in spring

Earwigs will sometimes accidentally enter the home, however, they will not establish themselves indoors and are harmless to humans. You might find them in areas where there is water – kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries.

Attracted to lights, Earwigs can become a nuisance on porches and patios on summer nights. In the morning they will be gathered under things like cushions that were left outside overnight.

An old superstition says that Earwigs crawl into the ears of a sleeping person and bore into the brain. While menacing in appearance, this doesn’t happen.

Testimonials
  • “I accepted some moving boxes from a friend and accidentally brought in a roach infestation. Apparently roaches live off of the glue in cardboard boxes so beware of those bearing moving supplies.

    Kimmie T. – Tustin, CA
  • “We live in Oceanside, a little in the boonies and have Coyotes, and raccoon and possum’s, rabbits, moles and squirrels all over our property bringing in fleas and we fight a losing battle every summer

    Pat C. – Oceanside, CA
  • “Mark came out at our arranged time and treated the areas locally for a fraction of the price that the other company wanted for tenting.

    Amanda L – Laguna Hills, CA
  • “I had rats in my attic. They were keeping me up at night! I called and talked to Mark. I’m a single woman, home owner and I’ve been over-charged too often by home service companies.

    Debbie R. – Hendersonville, TN
  • “A big thank you to Mark for exterminating the ants who felt that our home was their home. We used to have an ant here and there but after having to redo the flooring in the kitchen due to a flood, we started seeing more and more of them.

    S.M. N. – Manhattan, NY
  • Mark has to be the nicest most honest guy I’ve ever met. He has been doing pest control at my house for years and we just adore him.
