Earwigs! Eeeeeewwww!
They have invaded my house, patio, and birdfeeder. Anyone know how I can get rid of them without using bug spray? I have a lot of pets and I don't want them exposed to it. There's something about earwigs that is so off-putting.

1. Put dabs of wax down as bait.

3. Be advised, you'll have to use
ear wax to bait earwigs.

Heh, heh, heh.

6. Sell your house. Run away.
I wouldn't sleep with those things in the house. They crawl into your ears and eat your brains, slowly driving you MAD...
