\"\"<\/a>Coming across an earwig infestation<\/a> can be unsetting for any New Jersey resident.\u00a0 Their scary looking prongs at the end of their abdomen are enough to send anyone running for the hills.\u00a0 The name \u201cearwigs\u201d is basically derived from an old wives tale.\u00a0 It was once said that earwigs would crawl into your ears while you were sleeping and eat your brain! They were definitely a feared household pest in years past.\u00a0 Now we know that earwigs don\u2019t actually eat human brains.\u00a0 Earwigs however can bite humans, and their bite can be a bit painful.\u00a0 They do not exude any poison, though the earwig\u2019s jaws (forceps) are very strong and the pinch will make you jump if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by one of these pests.<\/p>\n

Earwigs<\/a> are attracted to the moist areas around New Jersey homes and businesses.\u00a0 These insects will grow to about 5\/8 inch long and are dark reddish-brown with light brown legs.\u00a0 Earwigs are scavengers and will eat decomposing plant materials and dead insects.\u00a0 They will also eat live plants and can easily damage field crops and garden plants.\u00a0 You will find earwig infestations in mulch, leaf litter, pine straw and other moist outdoor areas.\u00a0 These pests will enter homes and businesses by crawling up exterior walls and entering through window cracks, foundation crevices, or gaps in doorways.\u00a0 Earwigs tend to live in the same type of habitat as other types of nuisance pests.\u00a0 Look for earwigs if you also have sow bugs, millipedes, and centipedes<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

Earwigs prefer to establish their colonies outdoors, but will come inside your home on occasion.\u00a0 The key to keeping earwig infestations under control is disrupting their migration by hiring a pest control specialist <\/a>like Allison Pest Control<\/a>.\u00a0 We have been providing expert pest control services<\/a> to homes and businesses in Monmouth and Ocean County, New Jersey since 1917.\u00a0 Give us a call today for all of your pest control needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
