EARWIGS

EARWIGS 

                Collier
Pest Control is your Southwest Florida Pest Authority including Earwigs.  This pest is one of the most common outdoor pests
seen here in Southwest Florida.  These
nocturnal dangerous looking pests do slip into your home through small
construction cracks and crevices foraging for food.  Earwigs are identified by their pincer like
appendage at the end of the abdomen (call forceps).  They are brownish in color, with very short
wings, and about 1/2 to 1 inch long. The forceps are used to trap prey and
protect themselves, but are not strong enough to hurt anyone.

                Earwigs
hide during the day in moist shady places under stones, logs, mulch, dead
foliage and any high moisture area. 
These scavengers feed on live or dead plants and insects.

                The
common name "Earwig" comes from an old European superstition that these insects
enter the ears of sleeping people and bore into the brain.  This is entirely unfounded since earwigs are
harmless to man.

                Earwigs
can be difficult to control.  The key to
effective Earwig control is removal of any non-essential mulch and plant debris
or anything that could hold moisture such as boards and stones around your
home.  The purpose of this is to
establish a low moisture zone around your home that is disagreeable to Earwigs.
Collier Pest Control can help eliminate these creatures with our "Collier
Complete" pest control service.  We will
treat all the cracks and crevices inside your home and broadcast spray the
eaves, soffits, mulch beds, flowerbeds, entryways, and 5 to 10 feet perimeter
