How to Prepare for Pest Control

Preparing Your Home for Earwig Control Treatment

  • Identify Moist Areas: Check for and reduce moisture in areas like basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and under sinks where earwigs thrive. Use dehumidifiers if necessary.

  • Clean and Dry: Clean and dry affected areas thoroughly. Remove any damp rags, sponges, or other items that retain moisture.

  • Seal Entry Points: Inspect and seal cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, and foundations to prevent earwigs from entering your home.

  • Remove Debris: Clear out leaf piles, mulch, and other organic debris from around your home’s foundation. These can be breeding grounds for earwigs.

  • Trim Vegetation: Trim back plants and shrubs that are close to your home’s foundation to reduce habitats for earwigs.

  • Store Food Properly: Ensure food is stored in airtight containers and that pet food dishes are cleaned regularly.

  • Reduce Outdoor Lighting: Minimise the use of outdoor lights at night, as lights can attract earwigs. Consider using yellow or sodium vapor lights if necessary.

  • Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstery to remove any earwigs and their eggs.
