If you have spotted earwigs in or near your home, you are likely wondering what steps you should take to get rid of them. Earwigs are tiny insects that have pincers at the end of their bodies and they could cause concern in people who discover them in their homes.

Even though earwigs have pincers, they only use them on people when provoked or injured and they don’t have venom or cause lasting harm when they pinch. These insects prefer spending time outside and rarely infest the insides of homes and places of business.

While they don’t often nest in homes, they will spend time around the home’s foundation and in the basement if the conditions are right.

The Problem With Earwigs

Although earwig New Jersey are harmless to people, you still don’t want them hanging around your home or yard if you can help it. They are an unpleasant sight and scare many people who see them wandering in the area . Earwigs that get into your garden or flowers are an issue you don’t want to overlook because they can cause damage.

As nocturnal insects, earwigs come out at night and chew on plants and flower petals. Holes and rough edges on leaves and petals is a sign you might have earwigs in or near your garden. The damage they cause increases if you don’t take steps to stop them when you spot the first red flag.

How Earwig Control Helps

If you are like others facing an earwig problem, you might think you can take steps to contain the pests on your own. Some people get the results they want, but the rest miss the mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are earwigs dangerous to humans?

No. Despite their intimidating pincers, earwigs are not dangerous to humans. They only use their pincers defensively if handled roughly, and they carry no venom. While a pinch can be mildly uncomfortable, earwigs pose no medical threat to people or pets.

Why do I have earwigs in my home?

Earwigs are attracted to moisture. They typically invade homes during hot, dry summers or heavy rains in search of cool, humid environments. They commonly appear in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and crawl spaces. If you’re finding earwigs regularly indoors, you likely have a moisture issue near your foundation.

What damage can earwigs cause?

Earwigs can cause real damage to gardens, plants, and flower beds. As nocturnal feeders, they chew on leaves, flower petals, and soft plant material overnight—leaving ragged edges, holes, and deteriorating foliage. Left uncontrolled, earwig populations can devastate garden beds quickly.

How do I know if I have an earwig problem?

Key signs include seeing earwigs near your foundation, in damp basement areas, or in garden beds at night. Visible chew damage on plant leaves and petals—particularly small, irregular holes—is a strong indicator that earwigs are active in or around your property.

Can I get rid of earwigs on my own?

You can try reducing moisture levels inside your home and applying petroleum jelly to plant stems as a deterrent, but these are temporary fixes. Earwig infestations that are recurring or garden-threatening are best handled by a professional pest control service to ensure lasting results.

How does PermaKill treat an earwig infestation?

PermaKill’s earwig control includes identifying moisture sources and harborage areas, then applying targeted perimeter and interior treatments. The team uses approaches that address both the immediate infestation and the conditions that attracted earwigs in the first place—delivering long-term results, not just short-term relief.

How do I prevent earwigs from entering my home?

Reduce moisture by fixing leaky pipes, improving drainage around your foundation, and running a dehumidifier in your basement. Remove leaf piles, mulch, and debris near the home’s exterior. Seal gaps around windows, doors, and utility entry points to cut off earwig access.

Are earwig treatments from PermaKill safe for gardens and plants?

PermaKill uses targeted treatments that are carefully chosen to protect the surrounding environment, including garden areas. Your technician will advise you on any temporary steps to take with potted plants or vegetable gardens during and after treatment. When used according to label directions by licensed professionals, modern Pest Control Methods are safe for families, including children and pets.

When is earwig season in New Jersey?

Earwigs are most active in spring and summer in New Jersey, especially after periods of rain or high humidity. Activity peaks from late spring through August. Scheduling a preventive inspection before summer starts is the best way to get ahead of a potential earwig problem.

How much does earwig control cost in New Jersey?

Earwig treatment costs depend on the extent of the infestation and the size of the property. PermaKill Exterminating offers free estimates—call or contact them online to get a no-obligation quote tailored to your specific situation.
