We had a horrible problem with earwigs! Those bugs creep me out more than any other bug on the planet. I get chills just thinking about them! We bought lots of sprays and powders to get rid of them, but they didn't work all that great. Then I found a miracle online!
We filled a tuna can about 1/3 full of bacon fat after breakfast (vegetable oil worked ok too) and put the cans in the problem spots in our yard. I wish I was kidding because it made me sick to my stomach - but the cans filled with probably 100 earwigs each overnight. We changed the oil out every other day for a couple months and while it was a little bit of work, totally worth it! I haven't seen near as many earwigs this year and its been awesome. I'm hoping they stay away all summer long!
Hehe ~ love the title of this blog! Great tip Hot Momma! I will definitely try this this year. :)
