Stop Earwigs In Their Tracks

Earwigs - long, narrow nocturnal feeders that can be found in dark, damp environments - have no place being in your home. With more than 20 species in the United States and 1,000 throughout the world, earwigs are seemingly everywhere. They are aptly named for the old myth about crawling into people's ears and tunneling through their brains with sharp pincers. We are here to debunk this tale, but this doesn't mean earwigs aren't nuisance pests and don't cause damage to your garden. They do!

Earwigs and Your Garden

Earwigs prey on aphids, which is a good thing in one respect if you have a garden. However, in the process, they destroy plants very quickly, damaging seedlings, flower petals, soft fruits, and corn silks. So, they provide one benefit but detract from that benefit all at once. Earwigs hide in small, moist areas during the day and at night, then they come out to feed on insects and plants.

Controlling earwig infestation will ensure you have a successful harvest this year. Do what you can to reduce earwigs by removing leaf piles, compost piles or other vegetation from around your home, and sealing up cracks and crevices in the walls of your house.
