Earwigs
Earwigs
Earwigs are common arthropods in the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina. Known for their distinctive pincer-like appendages at the rear, these nocturnal insects thrive in dark, damp environments. While earwigs mainly scavenge on decaying plant material and other insects, their presence indoors can be unsettling for homeowners.

Our professional services are designed to effectively manage earwig infestations, offering solutions that address the specific needs and concerns of homeowners. By using environmentally friendly methods, Good Nature Pest Control aims to resolve earwig issues while protecting both households and the surrounding ecosystem.
Types of Earwigs
The Southeastern United States hosts a variety of earwig species, known for their elongated bodies and distinctive pincer-like appendages at the rear. The European Earwig (Forficula auricularia) is a common species in the region, while other native varieties, such as the Ring-legged Earwig (Euborellia annulipes), are also present.
