After entering houses, they feed on sweet, slippery or greasy foods or houseplants. They are attracted to lights.

Use good hours of darkness light discipline and special sodium vapor washed out lights (less attractive to insects) instead of white, neon or mercury vapor lights.
During dry, hot weather, earwigs sometimes migrate indoors. They are easily kill by residual insecticide treatments in cracks and crevices, along baseboards, beneath cabinet, along door and window sills and other hiding places during the afternoon. Unfortunately, control will be short-term due to new earwig entry from outdoors.

High populations, practically invisible during the afternoon, may be present around foundations, in landscape yards, contained by mulch, under boards, etc. Be sure to remove damp, moist conditions within crawl spaces under houses, around faucets, around air-conditioning unit and along house foundations. Rain gutters and spouts should carry wet away from the house foundation. Use caulking compound, putty and weather stripping around doors, windows, pipes and other entry sites, especially at the ground even.
