Is anyone else's home being invaded by earwigs?

Hello!

We have never had a problem with earwigs and suddenly we are being invaded by earwigs! Is anyone else having this problem with earwigs and do you have a solution? I had one crawl across my leg last night!

We get the house fumigated once a year – it really makes a difference.

I’ve heard spraying lavender oil across your thresholds can keep them at bay.

There has been lots of rain and maybe this has been a problem with damp?

Given how many you seem to have – I think I would be calling a pest controller. Also, consider looking at your garden to find if you are inadvertently providing a great breeding ground for them – I have only ever had them in the garden in cool shaded damp areas with lots of bark/woodchips. Remove the breeding grounds and the numbers drop.
