Earwigs Attack Gardens Warn Ottawa Entomologist
Entomologist Amalia Pucat of Agriculture Canada warns earwigs threaten gardens and house interiors. The reddish brown insects two centimetres long feed on plants, wood, and food crumbs, with peaks from late May to June. Control includes garden sprays and bait, but treat breeding areas, trap with grooved boards, and keep pets away from treated zones. Prevention by early planting and removing debris reduces shelters, while some earwigs eat aphids and other pests.
