Protect your garden beds, basements, and food from unsightly earwig invasions. Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup.
What's Included
Spud Pest eliminates local earwig populations by targeting their damp harborage zones and stopping indoor migration routes. Heavy lawn irrigation, bark mulch beds, and river basin humidity drive massive earwig surges across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, forcing these nocturnal pests out of flower beds and through lower foundation gaps. Our protection plans establish a durable exterior perimeter that clears yard populations, protects garden plants, and keeps your home bug free year round.
Every plan covers complete perimeter inspections, granular harborage treatments, micro encapsulated foundation liquid barriers, and doorway entry point applications. You get complete defense against European earwigs and ringlegged earwigs, backed by full warranty protection and unlimited free re-treatments whenever pests return between regular service visits.
Species
Understanding earwig behavior helps pinpoint where they breed and why they enter your home.
Dark reddish brown insects easily recognized by their prominent tail pincers and long, slender bodies. They thrive in damp organic debris, bark mulch, landscape rocks, and flower pots, crawling indoors when summer heat dries out outdoor soil.
Dark brown to black earwigs featuring distinct pale yellow legs with dark bands. They favor extremely moist environments like crawlspaces, basement utility rooms, potted plant saucers, and rotting garden mulch.
How it works
Every visit follows a simple, proven process to knock down active earwig populations, treat damp breeding grounds, and block entryways:
Detailed Exterior Harborage Inspection
We check bark mulch beds, foundation gaps, landscape stones, window wells, and patio edges for heavy moisture and earwig clusters.
Targeted Granular Zone Application
We spread water activated perimeter granules throughout heavily mulched garden beds and turf borders to destroy outdoor breeding colonies.
Micro Encapsulated Foundation Barrier
We apply a long lasting liquid barrier around foundation walls, garage thresholds, and basement window frames to block indoor migration.
Keep Them Away
We return on a regular seasonal schedule to replenish outdoor barriers and treat high moisture zones before populations explode, maintaining continuous protection year round.

No, that is an old urban myth. Earwigs are completely harmless to humans and do not lay eggs inside ears. While their rear pincers look intimidating, they are only used for defense against other insects and cannot cause injury to people or pets.
Hot, dry midsummer weather drives earwigs out of drying garden soil in search of cool moisture. They crawl through door sweeps, basement window wells, and foundation vents, congregating in damp indoor areas like bathrooms, crawlspaces, and laundry rooms.
Yes, earwigs feed heavily on tender vegetation, flower blossoms, and young seedling leaves overnight. They leave ragged holes in garden foliage and can ruin flower displays, fruit patches, and vegetable gardens if left unchecked.
Yes, our products are applied specifically along exterior foundations, mulch borders, and entry thresholds away from high traffic family areas. Once the liquid applications dry completely (typically within 30 to 60 minutes), children and pets can safely return to playing in the yard.
