Earwigs Entering Your Mid-Ohio Valley Home or Business?

Also called “pincher bugs,” earwigs are known for their slender, smooth bodies and pair of appendages at the tip of their abdomen that look like pinchers. Earwigs average about 5/8 of an inch in length, but they can grow longer. Typically, these insects are reddish-brown, and can either have wings or be flightless.

Are Earwigs Dangerous?

Although they get their name from an old myth that says they crawl into your ears and lay their eggs in your brain, earwigs are not generally considered dangerous to humans or pets. Earwigs prefer dark, damp areas, so when they do enter your home or business, you can typically find them in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. It is not their desire to harm you, or even to destroy your belongings, but they will try to pinch if they feel threatened. Seeing one or two in your Mid-Ohio Valley home or business is no cause for alarm, but when you start to see more of them more often, it may be time to call Lamp Pestproof.
