💡 Extra Tips to Keep Earwigs Away
While the olive oil trap is effective, here are a few more ways to keep earwigs at bay:
- Eliminate moisture: Fix leaky pipes, reduce humidity, and keep areas dry.
- Seal entry points: Check for cracks around windows, doors, and foundation walls.
- Reduce outdoor hiding spots: Keep mulch and leaves away from your home’s foundation, and avoid overwatering garden beds.
- Use diatomaceous earth: A natural powder that can be sprinkled around areas prone to pests—it kills insects by dehydrating them.
🏡 Conclusion
Getting rid of earwigs doesn’t require toxic sprays or professional pest control. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best—and in this case, all it takes is a little olive oil to put an end to those unwanted guests. Set a few traps, keep your space dry, and you’ll be earwig-free in no time.
Simple. Natural. Effective. That’s pest control done right.
