Why Earwigs Are Showing Up In Your Home

When earwigs start appearing inside, it often feels like they came out of nowhere. In reality, they were already living around the outside of your home and simply found paths inside when conditions were right. These insects are attracted to moisture, shade, and protected hiding spots such as mulch beds, dense ground cover, stacked materials, or damp areas along the foundation.

Here along the Front Range, the combination of dry air, irrigation systems, and sudden storms can create ideal pockets of moisture around homes. Watering schedules, leaky hoses, or poorly draining soil give earwigs what they need outdoors, then they sometimes wander in through gaps under doors, utility lines, or foundation cracks. Garden-level basements and older homes with cooler, slightly damp lower levels are especially inviting.

Earwigs are mainly a nuisance pest. They can pinch if handled, and they may damage tender plants in gardens, but they typically do not pose a serious health threat indoors. The real problem is the discomfort and frustration of seeing them in your sinks, showers, or along baseboards. 

Our Earwig Treatment Process

Inspection & Identification

When you call Pest Arrest for help with earwigs, we want you to know exactly what will happen from the moment a technician arrives. Our approach is based on Integrated Pest Management, which means we do more than spray. We look closely at why earwigs are thriving around your home and craft a plan that focuses on long term reduction.

We start with a careful inspection of both the interior and exterior. Outside, our technicians check around the foundation, landscaping, mulch beds, rock borders, and any areas where moisture may be building up. Inside, we focus on places where you have seen activity such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and utility areas, along with likely entry points.

Targeted, Family-Friendly Treatments

Based on what we find, we apply targeted treatments to the areas that matter most for earwig control. We use high quality products that are designed to be effective on these pests and compatible with a family and pet-friendly home. Applications often include perimeter treatments around the exterior, along with strategic interior work if needed, rather than spraying every surface.

Because we work with IPM principles, we also share practical recommendations to reduce moisture and shelter that earwigs rely on. These can include adjusting irrigation timing, moving stacked items away from the foundation, or addressing small gaps that allow pests to wander inside. Many customers start to notice a decrease in earwig activity shortly after treatment, although the exact timing can depend on the level of infestation and the environment around the property.

Flexible Service Options

You can choose a one-time treatment if you are dealing with a seasonal surge, or you can opt into ongoing service for broader pest coverage. We do not require long term contracts, so you stay in control of how often we visit and what services feel right for your home.

Simple Steps You Can Take Before & After Treatment

Professional service goes a long way toward reducing earwig activity, and small changes around your home can make our work even more effective. You do not have to overhaul your yard or basement. A handful of simple steps can often shift conditions enough that earwigs stop treating your home as a favorite hangout.

Here are practical ways you can help limit earwigs outside:

• Adjust watering schedules so soil around the foundation can dry between cycles.
• Move stacked firewood, lumber, and storage bins a short distance away from exterior walls.
• Thin or trim dense ground cover that stays damp and shaded near the house.
• Rake away thick layers of leaves or debris that sit directly against the foundation.

Indoors, focus on reducing easy entry points:

• Update worn or missing door sweeps at exterior doors.
• Seal gaps around pipes, cables, and utility lines that enter the home.
• Make sure basement windows close properly and that window wells drain well.

During our visit, we can point out the issues that are most relevant for your home and suggest straightforward fixes. After treatment, you may see a few earwigs as they are flushed out or come into contact with treated areas. This is a normal part of the process. Keeping moisture in check and maintaining good exclusion around your home works hand in hand with our services, and our goal is to help you put that combination in place without feeling overwhelmed.
