Earwig control in Charleston

Earwigs are elongated insects known for their distinctive pincers and nocturnal behavior. They often inhabit damp areas and can be found in gardens and under debris.

The Problem

Earwigs, belonging to the order Dermaptera, are recognizable by their elongated bodies and prominent pincers. Typically measuring between 0.5 to 1 inch in length, these insects are mostly brown or black. They are nocturnal creatures, preferring to hide during the day in moist, dark environments such as under rocks, logs, or leaf litter.

While earwigs are generally harmless to humans, they can become a nuisance when they invade homes or gardens. They feed on decaying plant material and can occasionally damage young plants, making them a concern for gardeners.
