NOoooooo, earwigs are eating everything!!!
Edited on Fri Jun-29-07 08:53 PM by snacker
They are eating my zucchini plant leaves and now my flowers. I've been planting morning glories around our mailbox for 30 years and this is the first year the earwigs have attacked those! I'm doing the vegetable oil in tuna can thing. Any other natural solutions?

1. Earwig Information
This is from the Iowa State University Extension Service.

My flower garden is infested with the litle buggers. I tried the natural solutions like collesting them in rolled up damp newspaper, but I think there are just too many. Sorry to say I gave in and sprayed my zinnias before they were completely destroyed.
