You need to clean the tiles thoroughly with a diluted bleach solution. Scrape away any old grouting and replace with a new product. Make sure that the sealant around the base of the shower is not broken and replace that as well if necessary. After showering always wipe over the tiles with a towel to dry it out.

You may want to peel that toile wall up and take a look for a nest yourself. If there is one, you may want to use some insecticide and then clean the area with bleach. Earwigs can be nasty little critters and can live for long periods of time. Call an exterminator .

An exterminator might be able to find the nest's location and give you suggestions on how to get rid of the earwig infestation.
