Earwigs are attracted to:
Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your home – foundation, landscaping, mulch beds, basements, crawlspaces, bathrooms, and kitchens – to identify earwig harborage areas and entry points.
Step 2: Moisture & Habitat Assessment
We identify moisture issues (leaks, poor drainage, condensation) and harborage areas (mulch, leaf litter, wood piles) that attract earwigs.
Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points. This kills earwigs on contact and repels new invaders.
Step 4: Interior Spot Treatment
We treat baseboards, corners, behind appliances, and other hiding spots with targeted treatments safe for indoor use.
Step 5: Ongoing Prevention
We provide recommendations to reduce moisture and harborage, plus quarterly treatments during peak earwig season (spring through fall).

Spring (March–May): Activity increases as temperatures warm up and rain increases
Summer (June–August): Peak season – high humidity and heat drive them indoors Fall (September–November): Still active as they seek shelter before winter
Winter (December–February): Less active, but warm spells can trigger movementQuarterly treatments during spring, summer, and fall are recommended for complete protection.
The Myth: Earwigs crawl into people’s ears while they sleep and lay eggs in their brains.
The Truth: This is completely false. Earwigs have no interest in human ears. They prefer dark, damp outdoor environments like under mulch and rocks. The name “earwig” comes from an old European superstition – not from actual behavior.
Still, no one wants earwigs in their home. Call us to get rid of them!
