Why Clinton homes get earwigs

The sandy loam over clay that surrounds Clinton is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what earwigs need to thrive. The the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and Delta lowlands adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River, and the Ozark lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Clinton homeowners

No. They are a nuisance pest that feeds on plants and organic matter, and their pincers are not a threat to people or pets.

Q: Do earwigs damage the garden?

They chew on seedlings, flowers, and young plants. The treatment and the removal of the moist harborage reduce the feeding pressure.

Q: Will they come back after the treatment?

Not if the moisture and the harborage are corrected. The treatment knocks down the population, and the dry perimeter keeps the conditions from returning.

Q: How much does earwig control cost in Clinton?

A treatment runs $120 to $250 in Clinton, with crawl space work from $200 to $450. Earwig control is often included in a quarterly pest plan.

Q: Why do I have so many earwigs?

Earwigs need moisture and shelter. The damp soil, the leaf litter, and the mulch along the foundation give them the conditions they need, and they move indoors when it dries out.
