HOW to GET RID of EARWIG
Earwigs can easily be recognized by their pincers at the end of their abdomen. Their pinchers are harmless to humans although it is a myth that earwigs do bite, earwigs are dark reddish-brown, with light brown legs, and they are about 5/8" long. Earwigs will lay their eggs under the soil about 2-3". Earwigs need moisture to survive. Earwigs are mostly active at night and they eat dead insects and decomposing plant materials. They are also attracted to light. If earwigs appear in the house, it is safe to say that they came from the outdoors through an entry points (i.e. doors, crack and crevice, window sills, drains, utility pipes and windows).
EARWIG INSPECTION
During the day, earwigs can be found under organic matter (i.e. mulch, pine straw, leaf litter). They prefer dark and damp areas such as under sidewalks, and stones. They can come into homes through entry points like doors and windows, or they even go up the foundation.
EARWIG CONTROL METHOD
Earwigs can be controlled with liquid spray (BIFEN IT, CYPER WP, CYNOFF WP, MASTERLINE BIFENTHRIN 7.9) using a liquid hand sprayer (CHAPIN 1 GALLON SPRAYER), granule (BIFEN GRANULES , ECO EXEMPT G GRANULES ) using a granule hand spreader (HANDY GREEN II SPREADER, HANDLE SPREADER), and aerosol (CY-KICK AEROSOL, ALPINE AEROSOL, D- FORCE HPX, ECOPCO ACU AEROSOL). Since earwigs' habits outside, you will need to control the earwigs outside to stop them from coming into your home. For that kind of control, you will need to use the amount instructed on the label and spread uniformly around your structure to keep them from coming into your home. This treatment is called a barrier treatment because it makes a barrier around your home. For the application use above, it is suggested that you use liquid spray and granule. Irrigate the lawn after the application of granule to activate the granules. We recommend that you use aerosol for indoor treatment, you can use liquid spray for indoor use also, and however aerosol spray is easier and more effective. If you do inside treatment using residual aerosol spray, you will need to treat entry points such as crack and crevice, doors and windows, openings around pipes and sinks, under refrigerators, behind baseboards, washing machines, stoves, cabinets, sewers, floor drains, storage areas, closets, shelves, and drawers.
