To eliminate earwigs from your home, use insecticides and traps, and seal cracks or gaps where they might enter. Reducing moisture indoors will make your home less attractive to them.

Earwigs enter homes seeking shelter and moisture. Using traps and insecticides will help control their population. Sealing cracks around windows, doors, and foundations will prevent further entry. Keeping your home dry, especially in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, will discourage earwigs from entering. For larger infestations, professional pest control may be needed to handle the problem.
