The Earwig<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Earwigs are long, dark brown bugs that you might see crawling around your home. Their odd name comes from an old myth that they enter people\u2019s ears while they\u2019re asleep and make their way to the brain. While this isn\u2019t true, these bugs are still an unwelcome sight in your home and a good reason to call in Monmouth County pest control<\/a> experts.<\/p>\n

Earwigs<\/a> are thin bugs with a distinctive pair of clippers on their backsides. Their narrow shape makes it easy for them to get inside your home through small cracks in your exterior walls. When you see them outside, you\u2019re likely to find them in piles of leaves, mulch or holes in trees. During the night, they leave their hiding spots and look for flowers, leaves or other bugs to eat.<\/p>\n

These pests don\u2019t spread any diseases and they usually don\u2019t cause property damage, but they can reproduce inside your home and cause an infestation that\u2019s difficult to handle. You can make it harder for earwigs<\/a> to get into your home by getting rid of spots they hide in on your property, such as mulch piles or leaves, and by sealing up cracks in your exterior walls.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let earwigs take over your home this winter. Contact our Monmouth County pest control<\/a> experts to handle your earwig problem and prevent them from coming back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
