Gosh where to start. Since we moved out in the country about 5 yrs ago (new house) we have had earwigs here and there. I noticed if I kept the grass cut and trimmed around the foundation of the house regularly it helped. Also don't leave dishes in the sink, no half full glasses of water out either and blah blah blah. I've also sprayed the foundation with wally world brand of insecticide every week.
This year seems to be just horrid with the amount of earwigs. Here and there we'd kill some and whatever. You'd find some maybe in the shower or sink in the morning but only here and there. This year it is nuts. At night maybe 11pm or so they come out in droves. Last night was it, I literally killed about 25 in an hour on one side of our home. It seems they come out of the ceiling fan mount to the ceiling and the smoke detector mount as well. They come from the crawl space above the house. I've read a ton on google about them and with kids and a dog I didn't want to get to crazy with my death plot for earwigs. It is recommended to use Boric Acid. Has anyone used this or any other stuff that's helped. It is not just us, I've talked with 3 other neighbors and they have them bad as well. My parents live in town about 4 miles away and don't have any...
any ideas for me?
