When it comes to managing an earwig infestation, specific treatments are essential. At Orkin, we offer a range of targeted solutions to effectively control these pests.

Insecticide Treatments – Our experts use specially formulated insecticides that are effective against earwigs. These treatments are applied to areas where earwigs are commonly found, such as basements, crawl spaces, and around the perimeter of your home. We ensure that these treatments are applied safely and responsibly, minimizing any impact on your family and pets.

Baiting Systems – In some cases, baiting can be an effective method to control earwigs. Baits are strategically placed in areas of high earwig activity. These baits attract earwigs, which then consume the bait and are eliminated. This method is particularly useful in areas where traditional sprays are less effective or not desirable.

Exclusion Techniques – Part of our treatment plan includes helping you to prevent earwigs from entering your home. This involves identifying and sealing potential entry points, such as cracks in the foundation, gaps around doors and windows, and other small openings. By reducing access to your home, we can significantly decrease the likelihood of an earwig infestation.

Habitat Modification – We also advise on changes you can make around your property to make it less attractive to earwigs. This includes removing leaf piles, reducing moisture levels, and keeping mulch and vegetation away from the foundation of your home. These simple changes can have a significant impact on reducing earwig populations.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support – After the initial treatment, our team will continue to monitor your property to ensure the effectiveness of our methods. We provide ongoing support and advice to help keep your home earwig-free in the long term.

Natural and Preventive Measures

Prevention is key in controlling earwigs. Here are some natural methods:

• Maintain a Dry Environment – Earwigs thrive in moisture. Ensure your home, especially basements and crawl spaces, are well-ventilated and dry.
• Clear Debris and Leaf Piles – These are perfect hiding spots for earwigs. Regularly clean your yard to remove potential habitats.
• Seal Entry Points – Check for and seal cracks and crevices around your home’s foundation, windows, and doors.
