Earwig Control in Powell, Wyoming

Why Powell homes get earwigs

The rocky and sandy loam that surrounds Powell is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what earwigs need to thrive. The the Rockies, the high plains, and river valleys adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the North Platte and Green rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
