Can an earwig hurt you? An earwig pinch can hurt, especially smaller children that don’t have much of a pain tolerance quite yet. However, they don’t bite or sting, and the chance of the pincer breaking the skin is very low. It’s safest to remove them from your home using a jar or container, and not your bare hands..
Their eating habits are as diverse as the menu at my favorite Fruitland restaurant, China Buffet. Earwigs feed on insects and insect eggs, as well as fruits, vegetables, flowers and decaying plant and animal matter.

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 lasts 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 will not only inspect your property for common areas where they feed and lay eggs, but provide you with effective earwig control Fruitland treatments.
