What do earwigs mean in your house? Earwigs in your house mean that you have moisture and entry points that allow them to enter, as earwigs are nocturnal insects that prefer damp dark places and feed on decaying organic matter, small insects, and plant material. Finding earwigs indoors indicates high humidity, damp basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and areas with leaks, as they need moisture to survive. It also indicates cracks, gaps in doors, windows, foundations, and around pipes that allow entry from outdoors where they live in mulch, leaf litter, and under rocks. Earwigs are attracted to lights at night and may wander indoors accidentally. Their presence may also mean decaying organic matter near foundation like mulch and leaf piles. While they do not infest homes like cockroaches, seeing many may indicate moisture problem and that outdoor habitat close to home. They are not dangerous, do not bite significantly, but can be nuisance and may damage houseplants. So earwigs mean moisture and entry points.
