Earwigs may look intimidating with their pincers, but they’re mostly a nuisance pest. In the Temecula/Murrieta area, they thrive in gardens, mulch beds, and damp areas around the home. Vineyard Valley Pest Control uses targeted treatments to help keep earwigs out of your home.
Why are they showing up?
Earwigs are drawn to cool, moist places—especially during hot or dry weather. You’ll often find them under flowerpots, in bathrooms, or crawling into doorways at night.
How do they get inside?
They enter through small gaps, especially near foundation walls or under sliding doors. Once inside, they tend to hide in baseboards, bathrooms, or laundry areas.
What do they look like?
Earwigs are reddish-brown and about 1/2 to 1 inch long, with a pair of curved pincers on their rear end. Though alarming in appearance, they’re not harmful to humans or pets.
Earwigs don’t belong in your home—or your flower beds. Our treatments target the places they hide and stop them from coming back. Call Vineyard Valley Pest Control for fast, reliable earwig control.
