Earwigs- I found 4 in my basement. Where did they come from? Why did I get them?

Question

How do I get rid of them????

Answer 1

buy bug spray

i get some weird bug things in my basement in the winter every year (not earwigs but still...)

i think bugs have a certain season they like to come in our house

maybe if its musty and there's food laying around?

Answer 2

They show up in my basement promptly on June 6th every year.  They like dark damp places. Is there water in your basement?  

I'd suggest buying some spray that says they'll treat them or call an exterminator (this is what we did the first year) but you'll want to do something quick or they'll be in the bathroom next.  

Here's a post I did on my blog recently about them.  http://myskinnygarden.blogspot.com/2008/...

good luck!
