“excite the earwigs’ senses”
Reading about organic deterrents and trapping and came across this quote: “Add a few drops of bacon grease or oil from the tuna can to excite the earwigs’ senses.”
Earwigs indoors 😤
We mixed up neem oil concentrate with water according to the directions (~0.4 g oil per 2 oz water ie the size of our little glass spritzer bottles), and spritzed all the baby plants. We’ve seen three earwigs inside near the plants since repotting last night and several tomatillos, peppers, and chamomile look a bit worse for the wear.
