The Importance of Professional Earwig Control
Earwigs are commonly known as pincher bugs due to their aggressive-looking pincers. They can appear intimidating but generally pose little threat to humans. Despite the urban legends, earwigs do not burrow into people's ears and are not poisonous. Their pincers are primarily used for defense against other earwigs. However, they can become a nuisance and damage garden plants by eating sprouts and roots causing the plants to suffer.
The main issue with earwigs is their tendency to secrete pheromones that attract other earwigs, which can potentially lead to large infestations. At EcoForce Pest Management, our licensed specialists are trained to identify and eliminate earwig habitats and address pheromone concentrations that draw more earwigs. Regular, ongoing services allow our technicians to detect early signs of earwig activity and take prompt action to prevent infestations.
Earwig Treatment Options
- Thorough Inspection: The process begins with a detailed home inspection to identify potential breeding grounds and entry points for earwigs.
- Local Spot Treatment: Infestation sites and breeding grounds are targeted using growth regulators and low-toxicity chemical pesticides to effectively eliminate earwigs.
- Exterior Perimeter Pesticide Spraying: Establishing an exterior barrier is a crucial step in preventing earwigs from entering your home. Our technicians apply residual pesticides around the perimeter of your property to target potential entry points such as foundations, windows, doors, and other gaps.
- Earwig Exclusion: To prevent earwigs from entering your home, seal exposed cracks and crevices with silicone-based caulking in areas where earwig activity is likely.
- Earwig Prevention: Clean up dark, damp areas such as dead leaves, mulch, wood piles, and other vegetation to reduce environments that attract earwigs.
- All-Natural / Organic Earwig Treatment: EcoGuard offers an eco-friendly and all-natural earwig treatment option that is safe for the environment, children, and pets.

Earwig Information
Identifying Earwigs
Earwigs are typically brown or black and can be identified by the distinctive pincers protruding from their abdomens. These elongated insects measure about ½ to 1 inch in length and have six legs and long antennae.
Earwig Behavior
Earwigs are nocturnal insects that prefer dark, damp environments. They are often found hiding under rocks, mulch, and leaf piles during the day and become active at night to forage for food. While they pose little threat to humans, their presence can indicate moisture problems in and around your home.
Preventing Earwigs
To prevent earwig infestations, it is crucial to eliminate potential food sources and nesting sites. Seal entry points by caulking gaps and crevices around your home’s exterior. Additionally, applying a perimeter treatment of residual pesticides can help create a barrier to keep these pests out and regularly removing debris and maintaining dry conditions can deter earwigs from settling in.
