Earwigs, those small, elongated insects with pincers on their rear, might look menacing, but they are more of a nuisance than a threat. Often found in moist, dark places, earwigs can make their way into your home, especially during warm weather, seeking shelter and food. While they rarely cause serious harm, their presence can be unsettling and, if left unchecked, can lead to larger infestations.
What Attracts Earwigs? 
Earwigs thrive in environments that are damp and dark. Common attractants include:
- Moisture: Leaky pipes, damp basements, shade, and overwatered lawns can create an ideal habitat.
- Organic Material: Earwigs are attracted to decomposing organic matter, such as mulch, leaves, and rotting wood.
- Shelter: Cracks, crevices, and gaps in your home’s foundation or around windows provide easy entry points for these critters.
Why Should You Care?
While earwigs are not harmful to humans, their presence can indicate underlying moisture issues that could lead to more significant pest problems. Additionally, if earwigs are finding their way into your home, it’s likely other pests can too.
