Tempe’s warm weather and frequent irrigation provide ideal conditions for earwigs to thrive. They feed on dead insects and decaying plant matter, often hiding in mulch, under rocks, and in garden beds. As their population grows, earwigs may move indoors, commonly appearing in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.

Arizona Earwigs
Earwigs are a frequent pest in Tempe—especially during the hot, dry seasons and after monsoon rains. These nocturnal insects, equipped with pincers at the rear of their bodies, gravitate toward moist, shaded spots around yards like mulch beds, irrigation zones, and debris piles. When outdoor humidity dips, they may wander indoors seeking moisture, becoming a nuisance—even though they aren’t harmful to people. However, they can damage plants and create unpleasant indoor encounters.
To minimize earwig activity on your Tempe property, start by reducing moisture: repair leaking hoses or sprinkler heads, improve drainage, and avoid overwatering. Seal cracks and gaps around your foundation, doors, and windows. Remove potential hiding areas such as leaf litter and wood piles. Maintaining dry, uncluttered surroundings disrupts earwig habitat and makes them less likely to settle near or inside your home. Nevertheless, earwigs are adept at hiding in tight crevices, and preventing reinfestation often requires consistent, professional treatment.
