Although earwigs generally prefer the outdoors, extreme heat or cold temperatures can drive them into your home. Since they can get inside by the tiniest of cracks and crevices, if they are drawn to your home, they will quickly multiply.
Earwigs are attracted to dark, damp, and humid environments and feed on organic debris and decaying materials, so they often love our yards and invade our homes. Making your home as inhospitable to earwigs as possible is the best strategy for keeping them out.
