How do you kill Earwigs?


Question:How do you control earwigs/pincher-bugs without spending money? Is it possible?

Thanks.

Answers:
This sounds simple, but it worked for me.
Make a solution of liquid dish soap and water in an old liquid dish soap bottle with a "squirt cap". Simply squirt the mixture in the areas where the earwigs are. In my case it was around the foundation of my house. I simply went along the cracks and base with my mixture, squirting it in.
The earwigs tried to get away, but were quickly dead.
The idea behind this is that the soap creates a film around the bug and they suffocate.
Good luck.


squash the shyte right outta them.. nasty damn ugly things.. hard to kill too.. yuck i hate em!! I always say if it has more than four legs or no legs at all.. kill it! lol
Use cayenne pepper and make a tea with it. mix 1:1 with vinegar. Put this in a sqirt bottle and spray it on the earwigs. No more earwigs.

Also, if you have wood with earwigs in it. Burn the wood.
