Earwigs gain their name from the European myth that they crawl into people’s ears while sleeping. This is scientifically unproven.
Adult earwigs grow up to 16 mm long and are typically dark brown to black in colour with a red head and pale yellow-brown legs. Their bodies are elongated and flattened.
Intimidating looking insects with pincers (cerci) at the end of their abdomen, the reality is that earwigs are virtually harmless. Earwigs only use their pincers when they need to protect themselves from other insects. Ultimately, earwigs are simply looking for water sources in your home or business. That’s why they’re often discovered in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
On average, earwigs typically live for one year. Female earwigs lay batches of around 50 eggs in nest-like shallow depressions below boards or stones.
Earwigs generally live outdoors and feed on plant material. They are highly active at night and hide during the day under any cloak of concealment. Earwigs are outdoor insects that become household pests when they invade structures. This occurs usually in the fall or at night. Indoors, they are found in cracks and crevices, and under furniture and carpeting.
