We get TONS of these little creepy bugs around our house and around the play sets our kids play on. I need something that kills them and keeps them away. Would Bifen IT work?
Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for earwigs. Spray indoors around the baseboards, door frames, window frames, under appliances and places where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure. Outdoors you should spray a 3 foot band around the bottom of the foundation and then spray another band that is several feet wide out onto the ground immediately adjacent to the foundation, door frames, window frames, and places where utilities enter into the structure. If you have mulch up close to the foundation , you should rake it back at least 6 inches and turn it frequently to get rid of the moisture it can hold. Bifen IT can also be sprayed by the play set, but not on the play set.
