If you’ve ever made a purchase at States Produce, odds are the local grower has battled earwigs. Earwigs are night feeders that can decimate plants overnight. Look for holes in your plants with a smattering of black dots, which is earwig excrement. If your plant is potted, look under the pot during the day because the earwig is likely hiding underneath.
Earwigs feed on flowers as well as crops, with a particular fondness for basil, leafy greens and stone fruits. It’s necessary to protect seedlings in your garden, as well. Call us today for professional earwig control.
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 Weiser treatments.
