Earwigs are reddishbrown and about three-quarters of an inch long with a pair of forceps-like appendages at the hind end. On the male these are curved, on females they are straight. The forceps are harmless even though the insects try to pinch with them when picked up. European earwigs are active only at night when they crawl in all directions in search of food and possibly shelter. They climb fences, trees, walls, etc. and, if plentiful, some will find their way into houses. By daybreak most have disappear- ed under ground cover or in cracks and crevices. They are listed as more Of a nuisance than a menace, but dam- age may be caused by feeding on seedling carrots, beans, beets and many flowers. They may be found Under the husks of sweet corn at picking time and in flow- ers and thus find their way quite by accident into houses. They will not harm people or items in the house. The department of agricul- ture recommends apoison-brand bait, or sprays or dusts Of chlor- dane, DDT, or malathion. Treat- ment should be during July when the insects are small, poison-bran bait is preferred because it does not contaminate the garden as mich as DDT and chlordane. Apply the materials al o ng building foundations, fences, woodpiles, garages and around or on the trunks of trees and any places where they hide.
