How to Get Rid of Earwigs (4 Easy Steps)

Thanks for the tips.

I live in a Garage conversion apartment and am overwhelmed each year in January with Earwigs.

In July, the Rollie Rollies arrive.

I have earwigs always in my house and there everwere and when i try to vacum them up they get under my bed and then crawl up when i sleep aand i hate it

I was in my room watching stuff. We live in an apartment at the fourth floor. I have my windows and doors all close. Everything and when I turned around to get the soup bowl back to the kitchen i saw one just feeding on the leftovers. WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY COMING FROM?!? THEY ALSO APPEAR INSIDE OF MY CLOTHES LIKE WTF.

I’m staying in my mom’s basement and she won’t let me move stuff but I had 2 crawl on me around 4 am help😂!!😢

Just found 2 earwigs crawling around in my respirator, I’m done

They can fly 😭🤮🤢

I like how there’s almost nothing that works 😂 ffffffffffffk

They crawl on me and my bed in my room where there is no moisture. How do I stop that

They actually have been known to crawl into peoples ear.. my wife’s a ER nurse and she’s seen it multiple times

pointless video. its better to just call pest control to deal with them. if you have an upcoming apartment inspection that would be the best time to call them.
A wooden house in a wooden area are prone to infestation no matter what and the rain will attract them over.

Can you create one version of this video sans the pictures of bugs? This is a helpful video and the time and consideration taken to create and share it with us was generous. However, already know i have these ugly earwigs and am trying to kill them so i dont have to look a them. I fast forward every time they pop up in the video. Bleh

I always find them on my shoulder, Im not sure about the ear thing just being a legend

I tried diatomaceous earth to keep them out of my bird feeder. It do not work. I was using food grade because I did want to harm the birds. That might be why it didn't work.

It's so many on my motorcycle right now 😢

2023, these gave been comming around my house like never before. Hiding in siding, and everwhere.

Don't laugh about them getting into your head because my nasal rinse bottle had them inside the straw inside the bottle and I was seconds from putting it in my nose when two of them ran out of it

Hate these mfs

No mentioning that they like living in/under dead wood.
This guys sucks and knows little about ear wings. He should of mentioned living around dead wood. This is just plan common sense, especially if you claim to be a expert on invasive bugs.
Dude, go back to "Bug College" dummy !

Are these treatments pet safe? I have both a dog and a cat...

Those things will creep in your ear at night if givin the opportunity and lay all kinds of Youngin.

It took you 3 minutes to even start talking about getting rid of earwigs. come on man

Rubbing alcohol kills them in 20 seconds. I use this all the time.

I don’t need a history on earwigs. Just how to get rid of them. “Use insecticides” is a no brainer.
Not an informative video.

Ugliest bug I ever seen they look like aliens that want to kill you

Feed them to the spiders job dunn

A bowl of olive oil is working well at ground level. It’s caught about 50 of them in just a few days

Thank you for the tips. However, I will not be using any chemicals around my plants which may or may not react adversely to the treatment. I will find an alternate method. So far I primarily only have minimal leaf damage, which I can live with before resorting to insecticides. Again, thank you for your time by offering useful information.

Found a tiny one on my bed earlier!! omg I’m thinking maybe one bit me twice on my scalp… a itchy bump like a pimple almost, then after the swelling went down it felt bruised and was kind of a bothersome when laying down 😪 . We do not have bed bugs.

This is the second time they came into our house! I would always find them in my chips or my cereal. They've come back! I am very creeped out and don't want to sleep. I hate them so much.

They're attacking my beautiful hanging baskets because of the moisture. I left a plastic straw outside that I used for iced tea over night. Unbeknownst to me an earwig had climbed inside. Fiddling with the straw I blew on it and the insect fell on my lap!

I just spray them with rubbing alcohol.

I used to have a pincher bug in my leg

What about on deck wood structures like fence post caps, solar lights etc. they are numerous under these items

Use raid extra defense and spray them to oblivion

They WILL go in your ear.

I have a new build and they are just popping up everywhere. It’s driving me crazy.

My apartment was just sprayed for earwigs 2 weeks ago and we are still finding them. They are so annoying and disgusting! I just found one in my baby's wipes 😡

I have big Legos there a inch big and I get 2 Andi put it in there and I open the Lego the flush it

cant buy any of these products where i live

I have definitely had an earwig crawl in my ear.

This worked but also attracted a ton of ants!

Thank you! I can’t wait to get rid of these damn bugs

This is doing too much

No thanks to Poison

Do not use pesticides folks use organic natural - - damp rolled newspaper and check in morning and dump the bugs into bucket of soapy water - see the earwigs -spray with rubbing alcohol or simple green

I’ve been seeing a lot of pincher bugs in my restroom. My restroom’s vent doesn’t work so I have to open the windows everytime I shower and I notice that a lot of pincher bugs have been appearing in our restroom. It’s so hard to kill them .
