Funny you should mention this because I just read an article, but I don't remember where in which they discuss earwigs indoors. They said that spray and wash will kill them instantly. However, they also said that you have to take care of the problem outside if you want to take care of the problem inside. A solution of 1tsp of dish soap to a quart of water sprayed on the infected plants should help. You can also leave rolled up newspaper, cut sections of tubing or hose and place them around your plants. Every evening shake the paper or tubes into soapy water and continue until you no longer see any signs of earwigs.
Hope this helps.
spray them with spray and wash.
They can't pinch with their "pinchers" (cerci). They may be able to bite, but they aren't dangerous. Call an exterminator to get rid of them if you are heavily infested. Also keep clutter to a minimal to get rid of their hiding places.
