✅ Our Earwig Treatment Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your Felida home – basements, crawlspaces, bathrooms, kitchens, foundation, and landscaping – to identify earwig hiding spots, moisture issues, and entry points.
Step 2: Moisture & Habitat Assessment
We identify moisture problems (leaky pipes, poor drainage, condensation) and harborage areas (mulch, wood piles, leaf litter, clutter) that attract earwigs.
Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points. This kills earwigs on contact and repels new invaders.
Step 4: Interior Spot Treatment
We treat baseboards, corners, under sinks, behind appliances, and other hiding spots with targeted treatments safe for indoor use.
Step 5: Landscape & Mulch Treatment
We treat mulch beds, landscaping timbers, wood piles, and other outdoor hiding spots to eliminate earwig populations near your home.
Step 6: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend quarterly exterior treatments to maintain protection, especially during spring and summer peak seasons.
