Earwigs
Why Am I Seeing Earwigs?
The main reason they may be entering your home is because your house offers a dry, safe place to hide and plenty of opportunities for food. Earwigs are not picky eaters and will eat rotting vegetation in the yard, many of your live plants and even fruit fallen from trees.
Are Earwigs Dangerous?
Because of their intimidating pincers, or forceps, protruding from the abdomen, earwigs might appear to be a dangerous bug. This is a misconception. Earwigs can use their forceps to grasp onto a finger if agitated, but earwigs do not sting nor are they dangerous. They have no venom, so earwigs are not poisonous.
Concerns About Earwigs
Although earwigs are mostly harmless to humans and to human belongings, they can be an indication of bigger problems. If you have earwigs, you may carpenter ants, termites, or some other property-damaging pest. The presence of earwigs may be an indication of water damage in the structure of your home.
