Earwig Control in Jacksonville, FL

Earwig Control built for Jacksonville homes

Jacksonville's sandy, poorly drained soils create conditions that earwigs find hard to resist. These soils stay damp well below the surface, and with roughly 53 inches of rain a year concentrated between June and September, moisture builds steadily around foundations, under mulch, and inside garage door tracks. Earwigs shelter in those wet pockets by day and move at night, finding their way through foundation gaps, weep holes and utility entries. As the wet season winds down in October, they begin working deeper into storage areas and wall voids. When the December through February cold snaps arrive, they press further inside rather than going dormant. Because earwig pressure in Jacksonville ties so closely to the soil and the rain cycle, a year-round program is what keeps activity from rebuilding each time conditions reset.
