Earwig Control That Gets to the Source
Earwigs look scarier than they are. They hide in damp mulch, under stones and in leaf litter, then wander inside through gaps under doors and around windows, especially after rain.
We treat the perimeter and the damp areas where they hide, and show you the moisture problems that keep drawing them toward the house.
Signs of earwigs
- Earwigs under doormats or potted plants
- Activity in bathrooms or laundry rooms
- Earwigs appearing after heavy rain
- Damage to garden plants or seedlings
- Crowds of them in damp mulch beds
Why here
Why Earwigs Are So Common in Louisiana
