What do you have around your foundation? They eat decaying vegetative matter and they like moisture. Mulch will draw them. Decorative rock with weed block material under it is better but concrete is the best. With the rock you can use a leaf blower to remove dead leaves. That keeps the food supply down. Treat from the bottom of your siding down to the ground then go out three to five feet. This will control spiders, centipedes, millipedes, sowbugs/pillbugs, earwigs and many other crawling insects. Where you have asphalt or concrete you shouldn't spray more than a pin stream along the edge.

I think I would lace the foundation,and wood under the house with lime,which will dry things up.

How about penetrations thru the concrete floor? Do you have drain tile? Do you have a bathroom with a hole cut in the floor for the trap? Do you have well water? These are areas that would be looked at for Termites, but I have had Mice enter from any of these. Without seeing the house I can only offer ideas. Hope this helps.

How do you keep them outa a phone/landline?

Yep, when I lived in Idaho, I'd have to unscrew the ear and mouth covers and dump out earwigs before use!

Ya get to a certain age, the hair on your ears grows just fine, thank you. No need for ear wigs. I don't blame you for wanting to get rid of 'em.
