Re: How do I remove an infestation of earwigs and how do i stop them from returning?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Johnmatured. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing earwigs.

 

Where has this infestation occurred? We have products like Multicrop 1L EcoAnt Insect Spray for use in the garden. If this infestation is inside the home, you might wish to try PestXpert 150g Pro-Fogger Insecticide Fogger Bomb. It doesn't specifically list earwig but does state that it is suitable for "other insect infestations".

 

Once the infestation is brought under control, removing food sources would prevent their reoccurrence.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
