Forkie-Taillies!

[SarahStrawberry]

Hi All

I think I have Forkie-taillies (Earwigs) eating my veg plants! Every night something else has been munched and they've started on my minicorn now

Does anyone have any good non-toxic ideas for getting rid of them?

Stuff a small plant pot, or similar (margerine tub) with straw, or shredded paper and put it upside down, propped up slightly on the ground near them - they'll go in there to sleep/whatever - and in the morning can simply be picked up and lobbed in the bin/desposed of however you see fit.

Pain in the backside though, we have loads of them around us.

Thanks Chris

i've been out and set my little traps, we'll see what happens tonight

If I catch any I might feed them to the chickens as treats
