How To Get Rid Of Earwigs - Garden Mines???

[@judithturner7485]

Thanks for showing us right in your garden how to set the traps.

[@cookingfun6245]

Would have lived to see the results to know if I'd try this

[@sarahroberts9654]

Excellent Video. You explained everything very well, gave us the ratio of oil to soy sauce,and showing us how you put in garden was a plus. Now I think I can get rid of the Earwigs. Thank you.

[@bristolgirl7346]

Why not put peanut butter in before you tape edges?? And pour oil mix in before you bury trap???

[@cherblattner6272]

Thank you for the tip. As a person with leg/knee handicap, I can see that I could prepare the trap, then stoop over to dig the spot, place the trap, then use the spoon to surround the trap with dirt. Getting the trap back up would be more strain on my bent knee, but could be accomplished with a shovel and moved to a bin or bag in order to move them. They are in our front deck next to the Hostas, a preferred food and habitat.

I hope you were able to utilize this method and have great results! Best to you

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

You can also fill up a shallow dish and not even bury it. Doll tree has cheap heavy pet dishes just place them in corners or in what ever area you need and they’ll climb right in, no lid needed, no need to bury

[@Itried20takennames]

I use the tiny “sauce” containers, such as for for salsa at Chipotle, either with no lid or with a hole in the lid. Fill them with a 50/50% mix of any kitchen oil (like cannola) and soy sauce, or have heard of using with vinegar, and press it into the soil so the container is about ground level. Really helps with both ear Whigs and moisture knats, and you can put a little ceramic figure, like a mushroom, over it if you don’t like the look.

I just had 10 in my living room. I am so fearful of them. Thank you so much for this info. I will do them tomorrow!

[@Itried20takennames]

I think most of us have some particular bug that creeps us out. If it’s bothering you, the fearfulness actually does get way better with slow exposure…start by looking at pics, then having a small treat after, try to think of them as just natural and having their cool parts, then start being able empty the traps with tongs, then gloves, etc. and soon it doesn’t bother you.

[@cusimilooking4965]

They destroyed my cone flowers and pumpkin plants. Yes the leafs that are left look like " lace".

[@natalianakoriakova8084]

Would be nice to see the results.

[@21_f_aus]

Yes, I agree, but looks like there hasn't been an update for 2yrs

[@PamelasEngel]

Thank you for this!!! Very helpful :)

[@KeikoBushnell]

You could also just take a mason jar and bury it in the dirt with some peanut butter on the inside and then you can go dump them someplace far away from your garden if you don’t want to kill them. I would think being plant-based maybe or some people might not want to kill them

[@lifebydara]

Great idea!

[@katekaplan8428]

Doing it your way, then they could be fed to the chickens. Good idea.

[@pammiestewart1419]

@@katekaplan8428 what if they have a map of your 🏡 home and they come back I'm not as kind as you especially when you use a straw for your smoothie and you have a earwig in the straw also in you water bottle that the top was on tight 3of them!! I feel somewhat better for venting

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

Did the oil & soy trap work for the earwigs? I didn't find your response to it. Thanks so much : D

[@GrantMarshall47]

Plant based for the win. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@clairequinn8665]

Hi hope u are well. Thanks for the video. I will do the same as you. I think my tomato plants are chewed by cutworms. Any idea what i can do?

[@jennitrevelyan3937]

My problem using the oil and soya is racoons. Traps I buried in my garden were dug up and opened and emptied leaving no trace of the liquid. Now how to deal with the raccoons and earwigs, arrgh.

[@lifebydara]

Oh no! That is frustrating. I'll be trying to modify the method to account for your feedback and do an update video this year! Hope you are well

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Just feed raccoons actual food, save leftovers for them:)

[@morgolf1]

Same thing happened to me! Guess I am going to have to find something else!

[@glomontero6011]

Thank you, I think they may be what is eating my veggies.

[@krystalgoin]

Im gonna try this! Much better than using pesticides.

[@chasingwaves11]

Thank you great idea ! I just bought a house and omg!!! They are all over my front deck! I’m so upset ! I want to get rid of them before I move in at the end of the month! I hear birds love to eat these suckers and chickens too so I’m going to get a few bird feeders and place your idea under the deck too .. wish me luck 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@PamelasEngel]

Ditto all over my deck! We bought our home 3 years ago and it’s one thing after the next! Good luck!!!!

[@lifebydara]

Yes! Birds and chickens will eat them. How did it work for you?

[@paulajames6149]

How about a trap for containers. I have so much in my containers.

[@anthonykot]

thank you for that.. we have a few species of them in the land of Australia..control ..not blanket eradication ..same for Humans ..

[@lifebydara]

Agree! Thank you for commenting ;)

[@187th]

i just got a passionfruit plant and they destroyed it straight away im on it now

[@lifebydara]

I am so sorry! Hope this helps you, if you have squirrels make sure you pile up the rocks on top to hide them ;)

[@187th]

@@lifebydara all good and no squirrels im from australia. and the title of the video was the main reason i clicked tell your son good call... i play a lot of mwr and use claymore mine's in the game

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Been using oil and soy for years. It works

[@108finley]

I am dealing with the same issue, and have been doing this method, but with tuna cans. I have been replacing the oil/sou sauce every day. Do you change out yours everyday, or do you leave it there for a few days before emptying??

[@lifebydara]

I change them when I remember lol. Usually every few days I'll check them.

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Just use a plastic fork to remove the dead ones and keep reusing the oil:)

[@deborahbahena7282]

Do you what you would due to help a potted garden? I can still could put them in the grown.. what about those that get into the house?

[@MissSandraK]

I saw a video where they placed open shallow containers on their patio under the lights and near their home. She caught hundreds of them with oil and soy sauce

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Just set a dish uncovered by your doors

[@xdrive300011]

awesome video! why soy source? the salt inside will kill earwig?

[@beesandseeds]

The oil kills them.

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

Soy sauce has a pungent odor that attracts the earwigs.

[@Emale2000]

@@heatherlovesdeuteronomy So what is the purpose of the peanut butter?

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

@@Emale2000 not sure, probably just an attractant?

[@Thanatos-X-Gaming]

I filmed this btw lol

[@lindasoaft9303]

Thank you!

[@NYandAZ]

Seeing the results would have been really helpful. 😕 How do we know that this will work? You took the time to show us how to do it but then totally failed to follow through. Ugh. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@lifebydara]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to make an update video on how it works. Have you tried it yet?
