Earwigs are amazingly found on six continents, the exception being Antarctica. They can be a destructive pest in the yard or garden, as well as a complete nuisance indoors. Unless you work in pest control or have had a severe invasion, you’re probably surprised to learn that indoor earwig populations can be so terrible they can cover entire walls and ceilings like a sheet.
Earwigs require moisture for survival. That makes Payette residents susceptible to earwig invasions, including properties not as close to water sources such as Payette Heights. If you find one or two in your home, it usually isn’t a cause for concern. However, if they’re being destructive or are a daily nuisance, our commercial products will quickly get rid of them for you.
Earwigs can be difficult to prevent on your own. At Get Lost Pest Control, we eliminate earwigs by treating inside and outside areas with effective earwig control treatments that last up to 3 months.
We use a two-step approach for treating earwigs around your home. The first step is to spray a pest control product that the earwigs will walk across, getting the product on their bodies, which kills them. The second step is to strategically place a granule around the outside of your home. Once the granule gets wet it will activate, and the earwigs will be killed when they walk across it. For earwig problems in the garden we place down a granule, which will not harm your plants. This granule kills the earwigs when they eat it.
If earwigs are invading your home or garden, contact us at (208) 949-1003. We’ll not only inspect your property for common areas where they feed and lay eggs, but provide you with effective earwig control Payette treatments.
