Every year earwigs are a severe pest to our flower beds. I try not to water at night because the wet earth makes it worse. This year I have gone out after dark with a flashlight and there are hundreds of them, just swarming my plants. This year I planted flowers such as geraniums and snapdragons because they usually don’t bother them, but now they are destroying them too. I have tried neem oil, dish soap, etc. We have a lot of gardens, but I do go out at night, cup in hand of hot water with dish soap and olive oil and literally push them into the cup, but this year there are just too many
