I FOUND OUT ANOTHER WAY TO CATCH EARWIGS AND IT WORKS VERY WELL. I use dry dog kibble or cat kibble as bait, use about a small hand full of kibble and put it into a stainless steel bowel or glass bowl about 3 inches deep. make sure the sides of the bowl have straighter sides (not angled to deeply). The bugs can get out much easier with an angled side. Place the bowl into a depression of the soil so it has easy access to the top of the rim. The thing I have noticed is the earwigs do not get out when the sun comes up in the morning. they just hide under the kibble. The bugs seem groggy after eating the kibble, so they do not run away very quickly. I can catch about 50 bugs a night this way. I then dump all the bugs into a bucket of water and let them drown. Use as many bowels as you see fit for the size of your garden. If you find that my method works please pass it on to as many gardeners as you can. Do a Youtube about it if you are gifted. Happy gardening.
