We’re always very thorough with our pest control services, which are reasonably priced and effective. However, our earwig control services are much more effective when paired with your own efforts at prevention. For your best chance at keeping earwigs out of your home, here are a few tips to prevent them:
- Eliminate moisture where possible- The best way to keep your home free of earwigs after receiving professional earwig control is to make your home as inhospitable for the insects as possible. Earwigs love moisture, so make sure you address any leaky plumbing fixtures and keep your attic and crawlspace dry. Keeping your gutters clear will help to reduce standing water, too.
- Reduce potential hiding spots- Another way to prevent earwigs from entering your home is to get rid of any clutter and remove items that provide shelter for them. Keep things like wood piles, fallen leaves, and vegetation at a reasonable distance from your house so the earwigs won’t take hide there and be tempted to come inside.
- Keep your home sealed up- If earwigs can’t get inside your home easily in the first place, you’re not likely to have problems with them. Check your house for cracks and crevices near baseboards, doors, and windows, so you can seal them properly.
