What to do if you find an earwig in your bed? If you find an earwig in your bed, stay calm, as earwigs are generally harmless, do not bite often, though they can pinch with pincers if handled, causing mild discomfort similar to small nip, not dangerous. Remove earwig by picking up with tissue or paper and releasing outside away from house, or vacuum and dispose outside. Wash bedding to ensure no more hidden, especially if bed in damp basement. Check for entry points and moisture issues in bedroom, as earwig presence may indicate high humidity or cracks allowing entry from outside, especially if bedroom near ground level or with plants. Reduce humidity with dehumidifier, seal cracks in walls and windows, remove clutter, leaf litter, and mulch near foundation. Use sticky traps near bed and baseboards to monitor. If frequent, consider insecticide spray in cracks or call pest control. So action is remove safely, clean bedding, check for moisture and entry, and take preventive measures to keep bedroom dry and sealed, as finding one in bed is accidental not infestation.
