If I find 1 earwig in my house is there probaly more hiding?

Question:

Answers:
Most likely there are. As with just about any insect, if you see one you can bet there are others somewhere. Since insects typically hatch from eggs they are most often laid in groups or clutches. If you have 1 you most likely have several. I perform my own pest control since I spent 17 years as a maintenance coordinator in property management and learned how to dit it effectively. If you want to get rid of virtually all pests in your house, do the following: First treat the grounds and landscaping around the house with a granular insecticide. Next, purchase "Bug Bombs" at the local hardware center and set them off in a plentiful manner. I put one in each bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc. Open all cabinet doors and closets. Leave for at least 3 hours, return and ventilate the house. Repeat this procedure exactly in 2 weeks. I do this about once a year for preventive maintenanc and I have no bugs at all, except in the garden where I do not use chemicals.
