They are always in the house, in every room, on floors, walls etc. Even when I surface spray the house (I can't see them listed on the mortein can I am using either).

My DH tells me they are called 'earwigs' but when I look that up on google I can't find them??

Please help! What are they and how potentially life-threatening are they?!

Cheers

ETA: they are about 1 to 2 cms in size

They look like earwigs to me can take your arm off with their tale

Not to mention the damage they can do while your asleep and they crawl in your ear..... :scared:

Dunno anyone who has been killed by one but volunteers are always welcome..

Lol....


They are gross though, do you have alot of wood or damp?

No, we don't! I can't believe how many I find each day. Most of them do get killed by the surface spray though, we just have to dodge our way through the dead bodies in the hallway. Ow yes, they do seem to be more present around the bathroom.

Thanks anyhow

I know they like damp places, have you sprayed inside and out? do inside first, maybe get something for bathroom plug holes and drains give them a good wash out with something???.....at least they are harmless.

Hope it gets sorted

When earwigs enter your home that means they are looking for their favourite food ,TERMITES get your place checked out............... mm

Earwigs! They crawl into your ears while you sleep and eat your brains out (thats what my daddy told me when I was 3 and I'm sticking by it)!

Do you still suffer the nightmares?

God I hate earwigs, YUK!!!

Kill them, kill them all lol
YUK!

I hope you get rid of them
