Stop Crawling Invasions at the Baseline
During wet Ontario summers, European earwigs surge by the thousands in garden mulch, interlock pavers, and foundation cracks—frequently invading kitchens and bathrooms. Discover how Spider Squad's exterior perimeter barrier stops earwigs and spiders in a single application.
European earwigs (Forficula auricularia) thrive in high moisture environments beneath garden mulch, patio stones, decaying wood, and foundation soil joints. As summer populations peak, overcrowded colonies begin crawling upward into exterior weep holes, door thresholds, and window wells.
Earwigs hide in moist organic soil by day and emerge by the hundreds at night to forage across siding, flowerbeds, and patios.
They squeeze through microscopic masonry gaps, sliding patio door tracks, and unsealed basement window frames into living areas.
Heavy earwig populations provide abundant prey, directly fueling higher densities of house spiders, cellar spiders, and wolf spiders.
Because earwigs and spiders share the exact same foundation crawl routes, our standard SpiderShield™ perimeter treatment completely eliminates earwig pressure without requiring expensive separate pest packages:
