Earwigs are nocturnal insects best known for the pincers at the end of their abdomen. While they look intimidating, they're mostly harmless to people — but large populations can damage seedlings and tender plants and become a nuisance when they move indoors.
They thrive in moist, dark spaces like mulch, leaf litter, and under stones, sneaking indoors through small gaps when conditions outside get too dry or too wet.
Signs You May Have Earwigs
- Earwigs found under mulch, stones, or leaf litter
- Chewed, ragged holes in seedlings or tender plant leaves
- Earwigs appearing indoors near doors, windows, or damp areas
- Increased activity after heavy rain
