Controlling nightlights, monitoring leaks, and sealing cracks are ways to eliminate earwigs (Dermaptera insect order) from birdhouses without harming potential nesting birds. Birds like to feed upon nutrient-rich earwigs, which are attracted to damp, rotting wood; house and yard nightlights; and shelter entryways.
