Photo Album: Earwigs Found in Matawan, NJ
As I was checking the bait stations around this commercial property, I found one that was full of earwigs.
A Little Surprise
I was inspecting the bait stations and found one of them full of earwigs!
What are Earwigs
Earwigs are slender, nocturnal insects that get their name from the old European myth that they crawl into people's ears and eat or lay eggs in their brains while they are sleeping.
How They Invade Homes
Once the weather outside becomes too hot for them, earwigs begin to invade homes through tiny exterior cracks in a foundation.
How to Eliminate Them
I treated the area and the entire perimeter of the building with a liquid residual that will rapidly exterminate the earwigs.
