Top 6 Best Earwig Killers (2022 Review)

Talstar is a well-known brand among pest control professionals, who admire the consistency and reliability of Talstar pesticides.

Earwig control is quick and easy with spreadable granules, particularly when they’re water-activated as these are.

Spread these granules just before it rains, or water the yard when you’re finished spreading them, and they’ll go to work, spreading out across the treated area to form a long-lasting barrier to earwigs and hundreds of other pests as well.

Granules are safe around children and pets, won’t harm your grass, flowers, fruit trees, or vegetable garden while killing earwigs for up to three months between treatments.

The only drawback is the granules tend to clump when the humidity is high.

Lambdastar UltraCap has several features that will help you get rid of the earwig infestation that is plaguing you. The first of these features is that it has a fairly high percentage of active ingredients, so you will only need to use .2 ounce to a gallon of water for most treatments.

This is going to save you money in the long run, and a single bottle of Lambdastar should last the average homeowner a couple of years.

Following up close in second place for my favorite feature is that Lambdastar has no discernible smell or odor, which makes it perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Coupled with a non-staining formula, these features make Lambdastar an easy choice in any project you may be undertaking.

The last aspect of this product that really makes it worth picking up is that it can be used for more than 30 other pests so you won’t need to run out and buy something else every time a new problem shows up.

D-Fense SC has many of the same qualities as the other high-end pesticides such as being suitable for indoor or outdoor projects due to its lack of smell, and that it doesn’t stain. 

Also, because it is a concentrate, you will need a sprayer to use it effectively and, of course, like always, wear your personal protective equipment before you start treatment.

Where D-Fense SC separates itself from some of the other products is that it can be easily mixed with other kinds of products to let you get several jobs done at once or to affect the same insect in two different ways.

Let’s say you wanted to not only put down a product to kill earwigs but also to disrupt their reproduction cycle. You could add an ounce of your preferred IGR to your gallon mixture of Suspend, shake well and then go on spraying without any clumping effects that might clog your spray nozzle.

The last way that D-Fense SC is superior to most of the competitors is in how safe it is. While it is strong enough to get the job done, you can put it down, and 30 minutes or less outside, it will dry up and become safe for you and your family to be around. But what about inside? Same deal except it might take an hour to dry when applied indoors.
