Hi Coby, here with Coby’s Tentless Termite and Pest Control. And today we’re going to be talking about earwigs and centipedes. And these are what we call LAWN insects. And the reason we lawn is because that’s where they originate at and that’s where they live, and that’s where they feed. But occasionally you’ll have either too much rain or not enough rain, and it will kind of flood them out or or be a drought, and start looking for stuff. And people see them on the porch. You’ll see them in the pools. You’ll see them climbing the walls. I actually was up at my mother’s home last week and and she was having these and I said nothing, insects. And usually what happens with those is that once they get out of the out of the lawn, they tend to dehydrate, so, so they’re going to die anyway, but people don’t like to see these things. And, of course, earwigs for years, picture bugs. Oh my gosh, they’re going to bite me. No, that’s not going to happen. But sounds good, um, but now these are just annoying little things, and usually a good perimeter treatment around the home. Does it? If not, then your lung company can apply a pesticide down. But usually they’re trying to treat for turf damaging insects. And if they’re not damaging anything, then they’re like, let them do their thing. They’re killing other bugs that you don’t you don’t really want. It’s kind of like a ladybug or spider or any of the beneficial insects, some wasps, actually, most wasps, and we’ll be doing that. But that being said, just like that stuff in their house. So So we find ways to go ahead and take care of it, but they’re definitely lawn insects, and they will dehydrate and die on their own in almost all cases. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an infestation of either one in the home in the last 38 years. So definitely mountain, Tampa st, Pete Clearwater area just hasn’t anything like that. So maybe in other locations in the cross country, it’s possible, but obviously you need so. So if you have a question about this or anything else, please give us call of Kobe with Kobe’s tetanus from pest control, and always remember, as long as fat keeps taking them, we’ll keep telling them, You have a good day. You.
