How to Identify Earwig Infestations?

Check Damp Areas in Your Home

Earwigs are attracted to moisture. Look for them in bathrooms, basements, kitchens, and laundry rooms—especially in cracks and crevices.

Inspect Gardens and Mulch Beds

Mulch, leaf piles, and garden beds provide perfect shelter. Spotting earwigs in these areas could indicate a nearby infestation.

Notice Damage to Plants and Flowers

Earwigs feed on leaves, petals, and seedlings. If your plants appear chewed or ragged, it might be due to earwig activity at night.

Observe Nighttime Movement

Earwigs are nocturnal. Use a flashlight in dark corners or outside at night to spot them hiding under rocks or garden debris.

Seeing Earwigs Indoors

While they prefer being outside, earwigs can enter homes through foundation cracks or open doors, especially during dry or hot weather.

Spotting Clusters in Hiding Spots

Earwigs often gather in groups under sinks, behind baseboards, or in storage boxes. Finding a cluster may signal a developing infestation.

Why Do Earwigs Invade Homes?

Earwigs typically enter homes in search of moisture and shelter, especially during hot, dry conditions or heavy rains. They are drawn to damp, dark environments like bathrooms, basements, and under sinks. Although they prefer the outdoors, they may invade homes when their natural habitat is disturbed.

Prevention Tips

Eliminate excess moisture in bathrooms and basements
Use a dehumidifier in damp areas
Seal cracks and crevices around the foundation and windows
Keep mulch and garden debris away from home foundations
Ensure proper drainage around your home

How to Get Rid of Earwigs?

Use Earwig Traps Effectively

Earwig traps can be placed in areas where earwigs are commonly seen, such as dark, damp spaces. These traps attract earwigs and help reduce their numbers indoors.

Seal All Entry Points

Earwigs can enter through cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundation. Use caulk to seal these entry points and keep earwigs outside.

Deep Clean Your Home

Earwigs are attracted to damp, decaying organic matter. Keep your home dry, remove old leaves or mulch around your home, and clean up any debris that could attract them.

Use Natural Repellents

Essential oils like lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus can help deter earwigs. Mix with water and spray in areas where earwigs are commonly found.

Fix Moisture Problems

Earwigs thrive in damp environments. Repair leaks, use dehumidifiers, and keep your home dry to make it less inviting for these pests.
