Earwigs can be found in almost any growing zone, although they are more likely to inhabit warm, humid climates. Adult earwigs are about 1.5 to 2.0 cm long and have antennae about half as long. The male has a large, curved pair of antennae, while the female has smaller, nearly straight ones. The earwig uses these during courtship and as a defence against attackers. Earwigs have a long, flat body with a tough, shiny, reddish-brown hard outer shell and prominent pincers (or forceps) at the end of their bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Earwigs Extermination in Calgary
What do earwigs eat? Earwigs are omnivores, meaning they eat pretty much anything that is made available to them. Earwigs begin searching for food at dusk. In the garden, they tend to feed on dead or decaying plant and animal matter. They prey on aphids, insect eggs, maggots, grubs, and army worms.
What is the other name of this bug? The other name of this bug is pincher bug. Where do they live?
Earwigs like to live and hide in cool, dark, moist places: under stones, in garden rubbish, tubular legs of garden furniture, wooden fences, hollow aluminium doors, and other cracks and crevices.
How can we control Earwigs? The best time to begin control measures is early spring, during dry, warm weather, when the earwigs are young. In populated areas, control works best when carried out on a neighbourhood or community basis. In homes when there population is high, we can use insecticide around building foundations and sidewalks along fences, hedges, and woodpiles under shrubs and other ground covers.
