Habits

Earwigs catch and feed on other insects. Typically, they live together in large numbers often in tree holes, mulch, under wood pilings and any objects lying on the ground. Earwigs are also found in exterior cracks of buildings.
This nesting location is conducive to movement into the home itself.

Tips for Control
