How to get rid of earwigs in a private house: the terrible insect will not set foot on the threshold
The earwig is easily recognized by its two long stings at the back, which is where its name comes from.
Although the insect, which, by the way, is also called an earwig and a forktail, attacks a person only when it feels danger, its mere presence in the house is extremely unpleasant.
Therefore, if for obvious reasons you want to get rid of an unwanted neighbor, you should call for help... onions and garlic.
The thing is that this creature, like many of its brethren, cannot stand strong odors.
Armed with knowledge about this feature of earwigs, start preparing a repellent composition.
Onions and garlic should be mashed into a paste.
Then the mixture needs to be diluted with boiling water and the resulting mixture should be applied to the joints of the walls, corners, baseboards and other places where the insect may be hiding.
Remember: the smell tends to disappear, so the procedure should be repeated once a week.
