The ear canal is shaped somewhat like an hourglassnarrowing part way down. The skin of the outer part of the canal has special glands that produce earwax. This wax is supposed to trap dust and dirt particles to keep them from reaching the eardrum.
To reduce the number of earwigs around your home and garden, clean up debris that earwigs can hide under, such as leaves, plant debris, bricks, piles of lumber, and similar things. It can also be useful to thin out or remove mulch. You can set out rolled up newspapers or similar objects to trap earwigs.
