Earwig Control in Bluffdale 

Earwigs are very common in the Greater Salt Lake City Area, and they often show up around foundations, moist landscaping, and cool lower levels. At Standard Pest Control, we provide safer, more effective earwig control as part of our comprehensive residential and commercial pest management services so you can get back to enjoying your home or workplace without worrying about what is crawling around.

We are a local, family-owned pest control company and our team is experienced in how local housing styles, irrigation systems, and changing seasons create perfect hiding spots for earwigs. We build our service around clear communication, kid- and pet-friendly products, and long-term relationships, not one-time visits that leave you guessing. We use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques that are safe, effective, and designed to keep pests from coming back.

From the first free inspection to follow up support, our goal is to make the process simple and reassuring. We respond within 24 hours when you reach out, explain what we find in everyday language, and back our work with a clear satisfaction guarantee that includes free re-treatments if you are not satisfied.

Local Earwig Problems Standard Pest Control Can Address

Earwigs look alarming, especially with their pincers, but they are generally more of a nuisance and comfort issue than a serious health threat. They like to hide under mulch, landscaping rocks, and yard debris, then squeeze through gaps around doors, windows, and utility lines to find dark, protected spots inside. Along the Wasatch Front, yard irrigation and newer landscaping in subdivisions give them exactly what they want, moisture close to the foundation and plenty of hiding spots.

If you are seeing earwigs regularly, it usually means they are finding both shelter and a way inside. Spraying over-the-counter products in a few corners might reduce numbers for a short time, but it rarely addresses the conditions that keep drawing them back. That is where our local knowledge and structured, three step approach make a difference.

Our technicians talk through where they will apply products, how they will protect sensitive areas, and what, if any, short term precautions we recommend.

Our goal is for you to feel that the earwig problem is under control, and we continue working with you if you are concerned about activity after our service. If you are not satisfied, we come back and re-treat your property free of charge.

Customers consistently tell us that they notice fewer bugs after we visit, that our team arrives when we say we will, and that we take the time to spray thoroughly instead of rushing. That feedback is reflected in our strong online reviews and in the HomeAdvisor badges we have earned, including Screened & Approved, Top Rated, and Elite Service, as well as top ratings on other platforms like Google Reviews and FieldRoutes. Many people who switch to us say they appreciate our neighborly way of working compared to larger, national brands.

Our Step-By-Step Earwig Removal Process

Knowing what to expect can make dealing with earwigs feel much less stressful. We follow a clear process from the moment you contact us, so you always know what is happening and why.

Free Inspection & Thorough Assessment

When you reach out, we schedule a free inspection at a time that works for you. Our technician meets you at your home or business, listens to what you have been seeing, and then begins a careful walk through. We look in typical earwig hotspots, such as basements, crawl spaces, utility rooms, around exterior doors, under eaves, and along the foundation, as well as in landscaping close to the building.

During the inspection, we pay attention to both current earwig activity and the conditions that invite them in. That might include damp mulch against the foundation, heavy vegetation touching the building, gaps under doors, or areas where water tends to pool after sprinklers run. We combine what we see with your experience, such as when and where you notice earwigs most often.

Safe Treatment & Clear Communication

Once we have a full picture, we explain our findings in plain language. Then we outline a treatment plan that focuses on safe, targeted applications. This can include creating a protective barrier around the exterior, treating cracks and crevices where earwigs hide, and carefully addressing problem spots inside if needed. Our products are selected for use in and around living and working spaces, and our technicians are trained to apply them with a kid and pet friendly mindset.

Before we leave, we walk you through what we did and what you can expect over the next several days. We may recommend simple steps you can take, such as adjusting watering schedules, trimming plants back from the foundation, or sealing specific gaps. If you have questions later or if you are worried about what you are seeing, you can reach out and we work with you under our satisfaction guarantee.

What To Do When You Start Seeing Earwigs Inside

If you are suddenly seeing earwigs inside, it can be hard to know what to do first. Taking a few simple steps right away can help you feel more in control while you arrange for professional help.

• Notice patterns. Take note of where and when you see earwigs, such as mostly in the basement, bathrooms, laundry room, or near certain exterior doors.
• Reduce moisture. Fix slow leaks, run fans in damp rooms, and avoid overwatering right next to the foundation so surfaces can dry between cycles.
• Limit clutter near the foundation. Move firewood, yard debris, and stacks of materials away from exterior walls to remove hiding spots.
• Use DIY products carefully. Light use of over the counter sprays or traps may help in the short term, but heavy indoor spraying without a plan can raise safety concerns and rarely solves the source of the problem.

If you find that you are seeing earwigs day after day or in more than one area, it is usually a sign that there is a broader issue. That is often when professional earwig removal gives you a clearer and longer lasting solution.

If you are not sure what kind of insect you are dealing with, you can use our free text based bug identification service. You simply send us a clear photo and ask, “what is this” and we respond with identification and a short explanation of how that pest typically gets inside. Many of our neighbors use this to confirm whether they are seeing earwigs before scheduling a free inspection.

How We Help Prevent Earwigs From Coming Back

In the Greater Salt Lake City Area, earwigs are part of the natural outdoor environment, especially during warmer months and irrigation season. The goal is not to remove every earwig outdoors, which is not realistic, but to keep them from turning your home or workplace into their hiding spot. That is why we focus on both treatment and prevention using a safer, integrated pest management approach.

Addressing Conditions Around Your Property

During and after your service, we look for small changes that can make a big difference over time. That might include pulling mulch and decorative rock back a bit from the foundation, adjusting watering so the soil near the building dries between cycles, trimming shrubs that touch siding, or adding door sweeps in certain spots. These steps reduce the moist, shaded areas that earwigs prefer right next to your structure.

Planning for Seasons & Ongoing Protection

We also talk with you about how seasonal changes affect activity. For example, you might notice more earwigs trying to move indoors when nights start to cool, or when irrigation is running heavily during summer. Understanding these patterns helps you know what is normal and when it is time to reach out if you feel that things are getting out of balance again.

For some homes and businesses, especially those in areas with heavy landscaping or complex foundations, ongoing pest service provides added peace of mind. We offer flexible recurring service plans, including regular quarterly and monthly visits where we maintain protective barriers and keep an eye on conditions that might invite pests back. Our mission is to build long term relationships, so we work with you to choose an approach that fits your property and comfort level.
