EWWWW!!!! You can keep those! Blah! Ditto Borax. It kills lots and lots of bugs. I also read while I googled them that they like damp and dead plants. I have a huge problem with rolly pollies in the garden and not watering at night (only in the morning) and keeping the dead leaves out of the garden has been helping with that problem.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257164536346000541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-44545239823877897602010-06-15T12:00:07.611-07:002010-06-15T12:00:07.611-07:00You know they don't actually lay eggs in peopl...You know they don't actually lay eggs in people, right?<br /><br />Something is eating my cucumber plants' leaves.

I always just blamed in on living in "the cave". Those things are nasty! I hate that you have them!

To be honest I'm not even sure what an earwig looks like, but rest assured I'll be google-ing it now.

Safe for people and pets and your plants, as long as you don't go too heavy with it. (My greenhouse owning dad said it's similar to some pesticides they use on flowers.) Earwigs were 90% gone in less than 3 days.<br /><br />Good luck!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913942607789663083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-90111046111186536722010-06-14T12:11:06.401-07:002010-06-14T12:11:06.401-07:00We used to have earwigs ALL OVER my parents house ...We used to have earwigs ALL OVER my parents house and one time I found them in my socks. After they were already on my feet.... Gross, huh?! I hate, hate, HATE earwigs!! I think they eventually got rid of them after they had an exterminator come. Good luck! I hope you can get rid of them soon!!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962498735246318189noreply@blogger.com
