ID / Biology / Behavior:

Earwigs are Insecta from the order Dermaptera (Greek meaning derma (skin) and pteron (wing)) coined by Charles De Geer in 1773.

Earwigs are characterized by the cerci (forceps-like pincers on the abdomen): male cerci are curved – female cerci are straight, used to capture prey and for defense.

Earwig Control Phoenix AZ

The common Earwig is an omnivore, eating plants and ripe fruits – gardeners take note! People erroneously believe that Earwigs burrow into people’s ears. Although this is mostly myth, Earwigs may crawl into ears and some can bite – hence, perhaps, the name.

Habitat:

Earwigs are abundant throughout the U.S. but more common in southern and southwestern locations. Most Earwigs are nocturnal and inhabit small crevices. During daylight hours, they can be found on household walls and ceilings. During summers, they tend to be found in damp areas (sinks and bathrooms).

Prevention Tips / Treatment:

Most important in controlling Earwigs is eliminating any hiding places. Move any encumbrances away from your home foundation. This “zone” should be 6-12 inches wide. Adjust outdoor lights to shine toward the house – this will attract them away and into the darker areas of your property.

After these self-help projects are completed, your WATTS Pest Prevention professionals have the products and equipment for effective treatment and control.

Our Pest Control Process

We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) approach for Arizona Pest Control. This comprehensive approach includes:

  • Inspection - Service specialists conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
  • Identification - Pests are identified for appropriate control measures.
  • Environmental Modification - All possible environmental modification solutions are considered prior to any material application.
  • Material Application - When a thorough inspection has been performed, a proper identification has been assessed, and all environmental modification options have been made (if applicable), a material application will be performed in a judicious, environmentally responsible manner.

OUR PROCESS

Pest Control Prevention Tips

A successful Arizona Pest Control program requires more than simply relying solely on your recurring Pest Control services. Understanding that recurring Pest Control plays a critical role, supplemental Pest Control methods include the client’s cooperation in properly preparing and maintaining the property being serviced. Properly preparing and maintaining a Pest-free environment includes:

Interior Considerations: Seal holes in walls and around pipes, cables and wires. Seal cracks and crevices with paint or caulk. Seal other holes ¼” or larger. Fix leaky plumbing. Correct excessive moisture problems. Remove clutter. Organize storage rooms/closets. Store Pest nesting material (fabric, paper, rug scraps, plastic, and insulation) in Pest-proof containers. Clean and screen drains. Cap drains in basement floors. Store human and pet food in Pest-proof containers. Maintain excellent sanitation conditions. Dispose of Pest- or Rodent-infested goods. Remove fecal matter (rodents, bats, birds). Sanitize animal fecal matter after removal. Investigate secondary Pest potential from primary Pest infestation (e.g. fleas, mites).

Exterior Considerations: Cut vegetation back from building walls at least 18″. Remove ivy and other vines from sides of buildings or nearby trees. Trim back tree branches that touch or rub against building. Seal and/or repair air conditioning unit(s). Seal holes in walls and around pipes, cables, and wires. Seal other holes ¼” or larger. Repair damaged roof. Move compost into Pest-proof containers. Fix leaking irrigation. Eliminate standing water. Maintain properly functioning drains. Maintain order in storage shed(s) and/or garage(s). Store Pest nesting material (fabric, paper, rug scraps, plastic, and insulation) in Pest-proof containers. Store grass seed and pet food in Pest-proof containers. Remove debris, lumber and/or rock piles. Move firewood piles as far away from the structure as possible. Cut grass and eliminate weeds. Remove fallen fruit or nuts. Remove fecal matter (rodents, bats, birds). Sanitize animal fecal matter after removal. Investigate secondary Pest potential from primary Pest infestation (e.g. fleas, mites).
