OMG....I can relate with you!!!! My nightly ritual...going out at 11 and 1 to kill earwigs..oil..done it....demateous earth..done...now neem oil!! They are in our hummingbird feeders now!!! I use to take them outside and not kill them...NOW I kill every single one I see. How did you make out with your cornmeal recipe?

earwigs newspaper soaked in cooking oil then wrapped in dry news paper, ants water and washing up liquid, the detergent works as a wetting agent, this covers the ant in water and drowns it.

Love ur video so nice and crisp nice cammera.

It gets the job done quick and a little is no big deal. Good luck!

I have them , too. First time with earwig damage. What is the ratio of cornmeal, boric acid and sugar, and won't the sugar attract the ants? When watering, is it okay to have the mixture leach into the soil? Sorry for so many questions, I'm frustrated with the insects, too. Take care Freida :)

Ok I'm buying that too!

Oh I just remembered something! Coffee grounds!I always put coffee ground around the house to keep out the ants and it works. They hate crossing their little feet over it!

You know I don't see slugs for some reason. I think the earwigs are eating them! ew! I'm going to get a bag of dia' Earth and try it too. I must stop the invastion before they get into my house and make me have a heart attack!

I've been thinking about Sevin.

Hey, don't sue me! Hope your concussion gets better soon! lol You are so silly!
-
Wow, that sounds easy! I'll try that right now. Thanks for the tip! I'm at war!

I think you feel the same way I do about those damned things. It makes perfect sense to me that soap kills the dirty things. Hope your remedy works but I'm with you I would use anything that kills them. A spray bottle with a small amount of dish detergent and filled with plain old tap water will kill them on contact. So in the daytime when they are hiding under your weed barrier just lift it and spray and enjoy watching them curl up and die, sometimes that is the high point of my day LOL.

I am usually organic but I did use liquid sevin one year. I think that once in a while is no big deal. Industrial, continuous use is the problem.
