You'll find earwigs earwigs in your cupboards, your boots, your bathtowel, even your bed. For many of us, these leggy little insects have become the number one summer pest. Yet they are relatively harmless and don't want to be found any more than you want to find them. Common European earwigs don't carry disease, don't breed indoors and bite rarely, says Rick Wukasch, director of the University of Guelph's Pest Diagnostic and Advisory Clinic. They are outdoor insects that sometimes wander indoors accidentally in search of a dark, secluded hiding place. Earwigs forage at night and must seek shelter from sunshine and heat to prevent dessication. This explains why we may be seeing so many of them in our homes this summer, says Wukasch. Adult earwigs are about two centimetres long and reddish brown in color. Males have curved forceps at the rear of the body; those of the female are straight. They breed only once, laying eggs in topsoil in the spring. In large numbers, they can cause limited damage to flowers and vegetables, but usually the primary damage is caused by other insects and the earwig' merely takes advantage of the hiding places created, such as holes in tomatoes. Earwigs will never be completely completely controlled, but home- owners can reduce their numbers with the aid of chemical sprays and traps. Wukasch encourages the use of traps. He suggests using sections of garden hose or boards with grooves placed together so the insects can crawl inside. At daybreak, simply shake the hiding earwigs into soapy water. Caulking and tight weather stripping around windows and droos will help keep them out of the house, he says. Earwigs are only one of the hundreds of pests brought or mailed to the Guelph pest clinic each year. Wukasch and his staff identified more than 2,500 different plant and insect specimens last year. Most people only want to know what it is and how to get rid of it, he says, but the clinic also tries to provide information about the pest's life cycle and how it fits into the environment. That way the homeowner can decide whether the wisest solution is to eradicate it or live with it, he says. You can contact the pest clinic by telephone at 519-824- 4120, ext. 2701, by mail or in person at the laboratory located in Graham Hall on the University of Guelph campus. CYR GROCERY PLUS LTD.
