\"\"<\/a>Pest control experts in Ocean County, NJ<\/a> receive many calls about the abundance of earwigs<\/a> found in NJ.\u00a0 These opposing looking insects mostly exist outdoors, but will not hesitate to invade indoor structures if the outdoor conditions are not hospitable.<\/p>\n

There are over 1500 different species of earwigs that have been identified.\u00a0 Most species have wings, but many do not fly.\u00a0 Of those that do fly, you will usually only find them\u00a0airborne in short bursts as they are not very agile.<\/p>\n

Earwigs<\/a> look like a formidable pest as they have forceps (pinchers).\u00a0 The pinchers are mainly used for defense against other insects.\u00a0 They will also lift them up and use them if they are picked up or agitated.\u00a0\u00a0 There is no stinger or venom associated with an earwig.\u00a0 The pinch of the forceps can be painful, but it rarely breaks the skin, even when pinched by a very large earwig.<\/p>\n

Earwigs prefer to live outdoors as their main food source is live or decaying vegetation.\u00a0 They live under mulch, under stones, under landscape timbers, and in decaying vegetation.\u00a0 Unlike termites, ants, bees, and wasps, there is not queen, workers, or a colony of earwigs that exist.\u00a0 Earwigs are solitary creatures.<\/p>\n

Even though earwigs do not hurt people, they can be annoying when their population numbers are high, especially if they enter your home.\u00a0 Earwigs are also known to cause damage to healthy plants that become part of their dinner menu.<\/p>\n
