Call (844) 924-1337The European earwig is well established across Connecticut, and Hamden's older neighborhoods near the Mill River, the waterway that once ran Eli Whitney's armory machinery, tend to hold the kind of consistently damp mulch beds and foundation plantings the species needs to survive. As Connecticut's fall season brings cooler nights, earwigs move toward structures seeking warmth, often entering through door thresholds and foundation cracks.
