Earwig Pest Control in the Coachella Valley
Earwigs have a long dark brown to black flat body, with a red head and yellow-brown legs. They have a thread like anttane about half the size of the body. The most noticeable characteristic are the pincer-like appendages at the end of the abdomen. Earwigs usually live outdoors and feed on plant material and organic matter. They are most active at night, hiding during the day under stones and other objects. Indoors they are found in cracks and crevices, under furniture and carpeting.

How to Get Rid of Earwigs
Earwig control starts outdoors by finding and removing any moist harborages such as the following:
Wood piles
Landscape timbers
Stones
Rocks
And more
Gardens should not be over mulched and lawns should remain mowed and weeded. Gardens or plants adjacent to the housing or business structure should be 8-24 inches from the foundation. Indoors vacuuming should be done in areas where earwigs are found. A residual insecticide or insecticide bait must be used in moist harborage areas around the home.
Do Earwigs Bite?
If they feel threatened, an earwig is capable of pinching to protect itself; however pincers are not strong enough to break human skin in most cases.
