signs of an earwig infestation

Because earwigs are nocturnal, most homeowners notice signs of an infestation before seeing the insects themselves.

If you’ve spotted one, there are likely many more nearby, particularly in damp areas or just outside your foundation.

  • Small, dark insects with pincers found in bathrooms, basements, or kitchens.
  • Clusters of earwigs hiding under mats, potted plants, or boxes.
  • Moist, musty smells around foundation edges or crawl spaces.
  • Visible earwigs emerging at night near baseboards or drains.

Frequently asked questions about earwigs

Frequently asked questions about earwigs

No, earwigs don’t bite or spread disease, but they can damage plants and become a nuisance indoors if left untreated.

They’re typically drawn inside by moisture and light. Crawl spaces, bathrooms, and basements provide the perfect environment for them.

We eliminate active infestations and reduce humidity to remove what attracts them in the first place.

Often, yes. Their presence can signal moisture buildup that may also attract roaches, silverfish, or termites.
