earwig pest control

(Forficula auricularia)

Description

Earwigs come from the insect order Dermaptera, which means “skin wing.” The origin of the name is a reference to the appearance of the hindwings, which resemble a human ear when unfolded. There is also an old wives’ tale that earwigs burrowed into the brains of humans through the ear. While earwigs are not known to purposefully climb into ear canals, there have been reports of earwigs found in the ear.
