Why Basalt homes get earwigs
The setting around Basalt does most of the work. The clay and sandy loam holds the moisture the pests need, the the Front Range, high plains, and mountain valleys offers shelter, and the semi-arid climate extends the active season. The homes near the the South Platte and Arkansas rivers and mountain reservoirs and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
Prevention tips for Basalt homeowners
- Reduce the moisture around the foundation.
- Clear the leaf litter and the mulch from the foundation line.
- Keep the firewood and the debris off the ground.
- Fix the leaky spigots and the downspouts.
- Vent the crawl space to keep it dry.
In Basalt, the homes that stay pest-free are the ones that stay on the schedule.

A single treatment is rarely enough; the plan is what works.
