Eliminate Earwigs and Restore Peace of Mind
Despite their creepy appearance and reputation, earwigs are generally harmless to humans—but that doesn’t make them welcome houseguests. Their presence can be unsettling, and in high numbers, they can become a real nuisance. Earwigs are attracted to damp, dark environments, which means once they make it inside, they tend to stick around basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. At Blackwood Pest Solutions, we offer professional earwig control solutions that not only eliminate the problem but address the conditions that caused it. Our treatments target the pests and the moisture-prone areas they thrive in, ensuring long-term relief—not just temporary fixes.
What Makes Earwigs a Problem Indoors?
- Creepy Appearance – Their long bodies and pincer-like appendages can be intimidating, especially when found indoors.
- Moisture Attraction – Their presence often signals excess moisture or organic buildup in or around the home.
- Garden Impact – Outdoors, earwigs can feed on flowers, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
- Rapid Reproduction – Once inside, earwigs can hide in large numbers behind baseboards, under sinks, and in crawlspaces.

FAQs: Earwig
Do earwigs really crawl into people’s ears?
No, that’s a common myth. Earwigs don’t crawl into ears or pose any serious threat to people. They may look intimidating, but they’re more of a nuisance than a danger.
Why am I finding earwigs in my house?
Earwigs often enter homes when outdoor conditions become too dry, too wet, or too cold. They’re attracted to moisture and can get inside through cracks in the foundation, under doors, or through vents.
Are earwigs dangerous?
Not really. They don’t bite or sting, and their pincers are mostly used for defense and mating. While they may pinch if handled, it’s not harmful.
How do I prevent earwigs from coming back?
Seal cracks, reduce moisture around the foundation, clear away leaf piles and mulch, and make sure gutters drain properly. Our technicians can provide customized prevention tips based on your property.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products that are professionally applied to target earwigs while being safe for people and pets when used as directed. Your safety is a top priority, and we take great care in how and where treatments are applied. We’ll always explain any safety precautions necessary based on the location of the nest and type of treatment used.
