Occasional Pests
Earwig (European)
The European earwig moves from place to place largely through the agency of man. Wandering at night, it crawls into any available hiding space during the day, and thus it may be carried long distances in bundles of papers, flowers, or packages.
Silverfish
Silverfish have a torpedo shaped body which is covered with metallic, silvery scales. They are nocturnal, and prefer out of the way, humid, dark areas. They may be brought into homes in cardboard cartons, books or papers, that have come from infested areas.
Sowbug / Pillbug
Sowbugs and pillbugs are the only crustaceans that have completely adapted to spending their whole life on land. They have oval bodies, convex above and flat or hollow beneath. The common pillbug and the dooryard sowbug are worldwide in distribution. They like moist locations and are found under objects on damp ground, as well as under vegetable debris of all kinds. They are mostly active at night.
