Earwig Exterminators
Earwigs are a small insect, approximately .3 in – 2.0 inches in length and are dark reddish-brown in color with light brown legs. Earwigs can be readily identified by their distinctive, pincer-like tails. They are also nocturnal, hiding in tiny crevasses during the day and coming out to feed at night. Despite the old wives' tale that earwigs burrow through your ear and into your brain to lay their eggs, they are not actually harmful to people. Still, these tiny insects can cause significant destruction in and around the home.

Do You Need Earwigs Removal Services?
Earwigs love to feed on decomposing material like dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, hollyhock, roses, strawberries, celery, grapes, potatoes, beets, corn silk, grass, and even dead insects. Earwigs can also bite as a defense mechanism. While these bites can be painful, they are not poisonous. If scratched, however, they may lead to secondary infections so it is important to identify your earwig problem before the earwigs identify you.

Even before we hired them for the job they were extremely helpful. We had John, who was absolutely phenomenal. We discovered a yellow jacket infestation in our ceilings after hearing strange clicking noises for a few weeks. Several wasps burrowed through our drywall, we have a newborn baby at the house so we were very alarmed. After frantically calling several different agencies who were all negative help, we finally found Eliminate em. Right away the difference was clear. John was able to help us identify and understand the problem and assess how urgent the matter was. He did not try to upsell us, he gave us several pricing options over the phone and helped us stay within budget while proceeding about the situation safely during the time before his visit. When he arrived, he was quick, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. We got a great deal and also learned a ton in the process. There is no other game in town that you should consider contacting, these guys are the best! Thanks for keeping our family safe.
