Eco-friendly, family- and pet-safe earwig control across Utah's Wasatch Front.
Earwig Control
Earwigs are the dark, pincher-tailed bugs you find under flower pots, in mulch, and crawling up basement walls on summer nights. They love damp, shaded spots, and Utah's irrigated yards give them plenty.
They don't harm people, the pincers are mostly for show, but in numbers they chew on garden plants and creep indoors through any gap near the ground. The fix is treating the moist harborage outside before they migrate in.
Know the Signs
Earwigs are moisture pests, find the damp, shaded spots and you've found the problem. Here's where they hide and how they get in along the Wasatch Front.
Damp mulch, bark, and dense flower beds against the house are prime earwig harborage, and the launch pad for getting indoors.
Flip a planter, paver, or piece of yard debris and you'll often find them clustered underneath in the cool and damp.
They slip in through door sweeps, weep holes, and cracks near grade, usually showing up in basements and ground-floor bathrooms.
Earwigs feed at night and hide by day. Seeing them after dark on patios and exterior walls means a healthy population outside.
Our Approach
We treat the damp harborage where earwigs actually breed, mulch beds, foundation edges, and the shaded zones around your home, then seal the entry points they use to get inside. A granular treatment knocks down the yard population while a targeted perimeter barrier keeps them from crossing your foundation. It's eco-friendly, family- and pet-safe, and tied to the same thorough exterior service that keeps the rest of Utah's bugs out.

No. Despite the scary pincers, earwigs don't sting, don't spread disease, and rarely pinch hard enough to break skin. They're a nuisance pest, the real issue is the numbers they show up in and the plant damage they cause. We treat them to keep them out of your home and garden.
