Earwig Control Newcastle
Earwigs are harmless but unsightly insects that invade homes in large numbers, particularly in damp conditions. They're a nuisance rather than a danger, but you still don't want them inside.
Signs you may have earwigs
- Earwigs in bathrooms & laundries
- Activity under pots & mulch
- Clusters in damp areas
- Damage to seedlings
Why earwigs becomes a problem
Earwigs seek moisture and shelter, invading homes through gaps and weep holes. In gardens they can damage seedlings and soft fruit.
