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.

Jon was able to squeeze me in same day when I had about 30 yellowjackets in my kitchen! 30 min later he was suited up in my kitchen studying them and looking for their point of entry. About 45 to 60 min later, he was done both inside and outside. My family really appreciated his prompt arrival and care he took as he worked. Will definitely recommend him to anyone seeking pest control!

Josh was at the Elm Meadows Condo helping my neighbor with a fly infestation in her home. I explained my situation with very aggressive bees in the front porch and without hesitation he took care of the problem. He didn’t make excuses that I wasn’t on the schedule, he saw my situation and proceeded to help me. That’s is an act of kindness and I’m so grateful. 🙏🏼
