Earwigs can be a huge nuisance in Northern Michigan. While earwigs are not known to spread diseases or damage anything in or around your home, they can be a sorry sight to see when you find them invading your space. Earwigs are nocturnal creatures that hide in dark, moist, shady locations. They tend to find their way inside of your home through cracks, windows, and doors, found at ground level. Female earwigs tend to their young underground and start to emerge around the 3rd week of June in Southern Michigan. To help reduce recurring infestations of earwigs you should try to reduce and eliminate moisture and shaded areas around the foundation of your home. Earwigs found in large numbers around your home may need to be treated by a professional, so please call NIX Pest Solutions today.
