Earwigs are small (1/2 inch long), brown, and have pincers on their abdomen. They are most easily identified by their small size and their pincers.
Earwigs are common in the United States and Canada. They are most often found near water or other sources of food. Earwigs can also be brought into your home on food or garbage.
The best way to get rid of earwigs is to eliminate their food sources by thoroughly cleaning your kitchen and bathroom. You can also use commercial fly traps or bait. If you have a severe infestation, you may need to call a professional exterminator.
