Earwigs
 Earwig adults reach about 5/8 inch in length. They are slender, light brown to black and identifiable by two pincers on the rear of their body.   The pincers are used as a defense and for capturing prey. They are creepy looking but not harmful to people.
They are scavengers and feed on a variety of foods including decaying matter and other insects.
There is an old myth that they crawl in people's ears. This is purely a myth and has no scientific basis.
These insects are scavengers thus they can end up in unsanitary places where they pick up contaminants.
Controlling them involves treating cracks/crevices and harborage areas that they frequent along with removing food, shelter or water sources.
