Earwigs
Earwig
Earwigs have slender, flattened bodies with a pair of very large pincers at the tip of their abdomen. They hide during the day under debris or in dark spaces, emerging at night to feed on plants, organic wastes, and smaller insects.
The key to controling this pest is to remove all unnessary mulch, plant debris, and stones or boards around the home. The less moisture around the home, the less you’ll see of the earwigs.
They are harmless; however, when disturbed they emit a liquid that smells like creosote.
If earwigs are still a problem after you remove unnecessary mulch and plants debris, call Russell’s Pest Control. Russell’s has the solution to eliminate earwigs around your home and office.
