Earwig Identification in SE Louisiana and Mississippi
Like many household and garden pests, the earwig is most active at night when it searches for food and shelter. Preferring cool damp places near water, earwigs are commonly found under bark, mulch, logs, rocks, garden debris, plants, and crevices. Earwigs are also attracted to artificial light and will gather on porches and similar areas. They will venture indoors, hiding under human belongings such as cushions or blanket type coverings, especially when left on the ground
Threats Posed by Earwigs
The biggest concern regarding earwigs is the harm they can cause to your garden. Earwig infestations can develop outside of a home leaving residents flustered and lawn and plant vegetation damaged. These pests are primarily scavengers, however, they will eat plant roots, fruits, and other insects.
