“
As bad as earwigs look, they are not very serious as garden pests—and sometimes are more friend than foe. It's true that common earwigs (
Forficula auricularia) can feed on tender shoots and can occasionally make a holy mess of leaves and even flowers, but the amount of damage they cause shouldn’t present a major problem in most gardens. The repulsion some people feel about earwigs is more about their appearance than their behavior.
In their favor, earwigs eat
aphids, snails,
slugs, and some types of insect larvae, so you might actually want them around. However, as with all uninvited creatures in a garden, there are times when earwigs can be considered a pest. When that happens, be patient and learn why earwigs are attracted to your garden. Controlling them is often just a matter of adjusting the environment.”
Earwigs can be a nuisance, but they are harmless to humans and they eat other insect pests. Learn the basics of earwigs and how to control them.
