How to Trap Earwigs

[@colettechisholm8894]

I love the way that this woman gets right to the point. I came here to specifically learn something and she did an excellent job of educating me. No silly music or camera tricks or trying to entertain; just the facts!

[@reflections.with.rhonda9269]

Thanks. I'm going to try this. I always find so many on my pool cover. Last summer I flipped my cover to the side and an earwig went down my shirt. I screamed so loud! Lol

[@rr7firefly]

This is an excellent presentation. Thank you for putting it together.

[@christineh5724]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video - very helpful!

[@silver21lady]

I made an earwig trap using a shallow container. I added 1/2 inch of canola oil and left it for a couple of days. The trap worked really well. Then raccoons ate the earwigs and licked the bowl clean.

[@k.hendrickson8735]

LOL, freakin racoons. Sharks with fur.

[@Exodus20.7KJV]

Thanks for the laugh.😎🇺🇸

[@TheHardhickey]

Thank you very much for the information it is very useful and you got right to the point without the Babbling hype I see on other channels

[@deegee2920]

After burying the plastic can in the garden, place a large rock or brick on top of it to help secure it from being removed by larger animals.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

That was very helpful and timely, the little rotters are eating my pepper plants and cucumbers!

[@JB-ui4sr]

Yep. I lost all my peppers to them this year

[@VictorFursov]

Thank you for interesting presentation!

[@JoLuffiroSauce]

thank you~ I shall try it later~ they're eating EVERYthing in my garden! so frustrating!

[@blondie1169]

I found using my 12 gauge shotgun very effective.It was not good for my deck though.The police recommended I try something else for earwigs.

[@Shodeen1]

Thank you so much! it is very helpful!

[@angelaterrazas6590]

Ive just started to try to garden, there are so many things out to get you haha

[@AJayQDR]

Angela Terrazas so many of them but you never ever give up!

[@Ana.Banana.77]

A. Jay agreed! At times I get discouraged but I refuse to give up on gardening. Good growing :)

[@mjfalcon007]

Great presentation thank you very much

[@ladeecatty]

Would fish sauce and oil work?

[@RVFreeDa]

These earwigs have been eating my plants in my raised beds. I see that it works but my dogs and something else like maybe a possum get into the traps and spill them all over.. Now I'm trying Neem nut I know your idea works. Thanks.

[@healingchannel1]

It shouldn't be spilled if you bury the container as she did and make sure the lid is on securely. Maybe bury it further down and forgo making holes in the sides?

[@rickmandigo6673]

Poke the holes in the sides so that rain and sprinkler water does not come flooding into the trap and ruin it.

[@TheGreatConstantini]

Great video

[@patriciamcdermott9589]

great job, thanks for educating us on these evil little creeps that are eating my flowers!!

[@ciresi43]

Placing your plants on a glass table will also help, since the earwigs have trouble crawling on glass.

[@patriciamcdermott9589]

i put out little bowls of oil and soy sauce. i have gotten literally thousands of them this summer and my plants are doing well. thanks so much for the tip. it's just kind of gross having to get them out of the bowls. i use a fly swatter head to do that.. yuck. but it's worth it.

[@sittingindetroit9204]

Would it be better to not have holes in the lid so watering or rain doesn’t get in.?

[@jasonberezny9705]

I understand you should change it every couple days anyway. Change it after a rainfall I guess🤷‍♂️ I’m trying it out tomorrow. We got them bad.

[@Mar-tl6bv]

Thanks good great ideas.

[@deniseramos8890]

Great vid! Thank you

[@ervinmason7177]

[@LivingDaylite]

I’m going to try these methods. My dahlias are terribly chewed up! 💔

[@WasatchRebel]

I'm just wondering why you didn't just pour the tuna juice directly into the trap, instead of putting it in a measuring cup.

[@AJayQDR]

WasatchRebel she is not doing the dishes for sure. My wife does the same thing when cooking.

[@tylerr24]

A. Jay im the dish washer aswell its annoying lol

[@kalmage136]

Those holes look small, is it okay is it okay to increase the size of the hole a bit larger.

[@A46648]

I used old car oil and it worked alot off dead creepy bugs

[@rayallen2411]

Could someone please tell me how to get earwig eggs out of my plants

[@patlarocque1874]

excellent

[@puschmannn]

hi! they eat vine lice and canker worms, so they are very useful. so why getting rid of them?

[@user-es1oc1mv8o]

because they are eating my plants

[@lewidlivelewid]

They have some benefits like any other insect does, unless they become an infestation. That's what she's addressing.

[@KlatuBaradaNicktoe]

No need to buy traps. Pieces of damp newspaper on the ground of your garden, rolled up or folded, will also attract earwigs. Just throw them away every few days and drop new ones. Also, I doubt a yogurt lid would be much of an obstacle for any raccoon. Nice video though.

[@robertwilson3421]

tried the tuna water,had to get rid of the racoons.tried the soy sauce,BINGO

[@frugalgardening]

Maybe because it was a clear container and you could see, better, what it was she was doing?

[@Mark-it7sh]

You do all realise Earwigs are beneficial insects which consume large numbers of pest species, e.g. aphids etc?

[@x_millerboi_x7543]

And there’s too many of them, plenty of other nonpest species do the same

[@itslxral2468]

Okie thanks for them facts ig

[@christophergruenwald5054]

Nothing like burning plastic in your kitchen

[@mikeokeefe2014]

She's cute too....😁

[@GorgeousRoddyChrome]

I made 3 of the traps for indoors where I had an infestation Oil and tuna juice.. Earwigs ran all around them. I would check at night and the earwigs would be out and walking around. Not one went in. Not one ever went in the traps. ????

[@GorgeousRoddyChrome]

Darla Elliott Yes it had a lid. I used a translucent container. Regarding the outside, they wouldn't go it the traps there either. My garden area is overrun with them. If I set a damp cloth on a lawn chair and check it around midnight there will be a half dozen of them on the cloth. So, I just made a new trap a couple days ago with oil and soy sauce and placed it outside under the lawn chair. The next morning there were 2 in there. I expected far more. I can't figure this out. Maybe the clan of earwigs in my yard and house don't like oil? Or they can't smell? Or they have evolved and can recognize traps? :O I kill a few every couple of days on a wall or clean counter in my bathroom or kitchen. Traps stay empty. One even crawled into a screw hole underneath my WaterPik on my bathroom counter and laid eggs. What???

[@sylviapetrich1080]

GorgeousRoddyChrome mother

[@bart_seavey]

Raccoons will make a mess of your contraption if you use tuna juice.

[@dougiequick1]

Make sure you inhale while melting that plastic! Dont want to lose any of those toxins and carcinogens!

[@Sweets_QT]

[@asmakhan3130]

Hi

[@mist4926]

[@MiTmite9]

Please ban these ignoramus videos that tout killing beneficial garden insects. There is NOTHING WRONG with having Earwigs in your garden. They are an integral part of a healthy garden.

[@st.fiacre6685]

Either you are being sarcastic,or your an idiot

[@christophergruenwald5054]

They are an omnivore. In high numbers they can strip plants over night. Had it happen to a second year cherry tree this year.
