What Are Earwigs?
Earwigs are slender insects with two pairs of wings and forceps protruding from their abdomen. The U.S. is home to more than 20 species of earwigs, several of which inhabit Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin. They generally prefer cool, moist environments in flowerbeds, underneath rocks, and in decaying logs. But they are attracted to light, so they may migrate onto your patio or even inside your home. This typically occurs if they are seeking shelter during an extended dry period or if they are looking for a food source. Though they may look intimidating, earwigs do not sting. However, you still want to get rid of them at the first sign of an infestation.
Signs of an Earwig Infestation
Unlike other pests, earwigs do not leave markers or signs of an infestation. You will only become aware of their presence if you see one crawling across your floors, walls, or counters. But there are places within your home that are more attractive to earwigs than others, so focusing on these locations is critical to identifying an infestation. Schopen Pest Solutions has a keen eye for these environments, so enlist our help as soon as you see an earwig in your house. There may be more hiding under rugs, in potted plants, inside bunched-up clothing and within stacks of papers. Upon finding earwigs in your home, we will quickly devise a treatment plan to get rid of them.

Ways to Prevent Earwig Infestations
While our premier pest removal services will eliminate any earwigs in your home, prevention is still the best form of pest control. Our experts will educate you about earwig infestation prevention and suggest strategies to keep them out of your house. These tips include:
- Move logs, decorative stones, and firewood piles away from your foundation
- Create an area surrounding your home that is free of mulch, dead leaves, and organic material
- Trim trees and shrubs that produce damp, shaded areas next to your house
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are free of debris and drain away from your foundation
- Adjust outdoor lights to shine from the yard onto the house or use yellow bulbs
- Seal cracks in your basement, foundation, and crawlspaces
- Make sure your screens and doors are tight-fitting

Here’s What Some Satisfied Customers Have to Say
Schopen was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and they accommodated a change in my
schedule. Luke arrived 10 minutes early and got right to diagnosing the issue. The source of the tiny
critters was found and treated. What a relief! I could not be more pleased with a company and the
service. (Office staff on the phone Kimm and Kiara were professional and helpful.) Thank you!!!
Everyone I dealt with was EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Pricing was fair. And best of all-my ants are
gone.
The guy called at the beginning of the time frame window and told me when he would be coming. It
is so nice to get a courtesy call when you have pets and kids. He was efficient and took care of what
we needed.
Kevin did an excellent professional job with the required inspection. We then hired him to treat our
home for spiders. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient.
We hired Schopen to deal with mice we began seeing recently. They were on time, and the Tech Corey was super awesome! He was very informative and explained everything. Listened to our concerns and gave good information back. He found potential entry points and filled them. We had hired a different company before them and wasn't satisfied. Corey went behind them and found some things the other company should have. We have already noticed that there is barely any activity. best part of it, they don't try to lock you into a contract like most pest control companies do, They let you decide what you are comfortable with.
This customer rated you highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.
This company was very responsive. Once they arrived at my house the workers were very friendly, explained the situation, and how follow up consultations worked. After the first and second follow up visit the company called to see if we had any other questions. Which was very thoughtful.
