Our natural-first approach to earwigs in the Great North Woods

Perimeter treatments with botanical insecticides create barriers. We reduce harborage by advising on mulch management and moisture reduction. Diatomaceous earth in garden beds provides natural control. We identify conditions common to hunting camps and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Earwigs questions from Great North Woods residents

Despite the name, earwigs have no interest in ears. They seek dark, moist hiding spots during the day and are harmless to humans, though their pincers can deliver a mild pinch.

Earwigs enter seeking moisture and shelter, especially during dry or cold periods. They often hitchhike on potted plants or enter through gaps near ground level.

We use botanical perimeter treatments, reduce harborage near foundations, and apply diatomaceous earth in problem areas. Habitat modification prevents reinfestation.

Earwigs can damage seedlings and flower petals but also eat aphids and other pests. Heavy populations near gardens may warrant treatment to protect vulnerable plants.
