Despite their intimidating pincers, earwigs are generally harmless to humans. These nocturnal insects often find their way into homes during the colder months, seeking warmth and moisture. While they may cause minor damage to plants, particularly tender flowers and vegetables, they’re not typically a threat to structures. Earwigs are omnivores, feeding on both decaying organic matter and small pests. To keep them at bay, reduce moisture in your home, seal gaps in windows and doors, and remove debris where they may hide. With a little prevention, these curious creatures can be managed without causing major issues.
