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

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.
