Scottsdale’s warm climate and irrigated landscaping make it a common hotspot for earwig activity. These insects feed on decaying vegetation and small insects, often sheltering in moist, shaded areas. When populations rise, they may enter homes, frequently appearing in bathrooms, kitchens, and other damp spaces.

Arizona Earwigs
Earwigs are a common sight in Scottsdale, especially during the warm months and following monsoon rains. These nocturnal insects—often called “pincher bugs”—thrive in moist environments like mulch bed landscapes, irrigated garden zones, and shaded areas near foundations. Though harmless to people, they can damage vegetation and occasionally wander indoors in search of moisture.
To help prevent earwig encounters around your Scottsdale home, make sure to reduce exposure to dampness by repairing leaks, improving drainage, and avoiding overwatering. Seal cracks and crevices around foundations, windows, and doors, and eliminate potential hiding spots by clearing away debris such as leaf litter and wood piles. While these steps help, earwigs are adept at hiding in tight crevices—so full control often calls for professional intervention.
