Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Q: Are earwigs harmful?
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 Fort Bragg?
A treatment runs $120 to $250 in Fort Bragg, with crawl space work from $200 to $450. Earwig control is often included in a quarterly pest plan.
