Frequently Asked Questions
What are earwigs?
Earwigs are creepy-looking insects with pincers on their backside. They’re mostly nocturnal and love hiding in dark, damp places.
Do earwigs crawl into people’s ears?
Nope! That’s an old myth. They have zero interest in your ears and won’t burrow into your brain (phew!).
Are earwigs dangerous?
Not really. They don’t bite and aren’t venomous, but they can pinch if provoked.
What do earwigs eat?
Earwigs feast on decaying plant matter, fungi, and sometimes other insects. If they invade your home, they might nibble on food crumbs or houseplants.
Do earwigs fly?
Sort of. They have wings, but they’re not great fliers. They mostly scurry around rather than take to the air.
Do earwigs multiply quickly?
Not as fast as some other pests, but female earwigs lay 30-60 eggs at a time. They hatch within a week or two, so an infestation can build up if ignored.
Are earwigs more active in certain seasons?
Yes! They’re most active in spring and summer, especially after rain.
When should I call a professional exterminator for earwigs?
If you’re seeing dozens at a time, finding them all over your home, or if DIY methods aren’t working, it’s time to call in the pros.
How much does earwig extermination cost?
It depends on the severity of the infestation, but one-time treatments range from $100 to $300, while ongoing pest control plans may be more cost-effective.
