Earwigs, including common earwigs and striped earwigs, can be unwelcome guests in your home. Identifying the specific types can help in effectively managing and eliminating these pests.
European Earwigs are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long, with dark reddish-brown bodies and prominent pincers at the rear. They prefer damp, dark environments like basements, bathrooms, and under sinks. Known for their nocturnal habits, they feed on a variety of organic materials and can be a nuisance indoors.
Ring-legged Earwigs are about 1/2 inch long, with dark brown to black bodies and distinct yellowish bands on their legs. They are typically found in moist, decaying wood, leaf litter, and occasionally indoors. They are nocturnal and feed on other small insects and organic debris.
Red-legged Earwigs are about 1/2 inch long, with reddish-brown bodies and red legs. They are commonly found in gardens, under rocks, and in mulch, and can enter homes seeking moisture. These earwigs are nocturnal, feeding on plant material and small insects.
Seaside Earwigs are larger, about 3/4 to 1 inch long, with dark brown to black bodies and powerful pincers. They are usually found in coastal areas under debris and rocks but can occasionally be found indoors. They are nocturnal predators, feeding on other small insects and invertebrates.
