Preventing Future Encounters with Earwigs
To minimize the chances of encountering earwigs, keep your home and garden tidy. Remove debris, such as piles of leaves or wood, where earwigs may hide. Ensure that doors and windows are properly sealed to prevent them from entering your home. In the garden, consider using natural deterrents like diatomaceous earth or essential oils to keep earwigs at bay. Educating your child about avoiding dark, damp areas where earwigs might be present can also help prevent future encounters.
