I will try this and also Anner's hollow tube suggestion...our
earwigs like water - altho' they will drown eventually. :)
I had three buckets of water on the patio soaking new beardless
irises before planting and every day, I would see the darn earwigs
crawling around the plants when I went to change the water.
