This spring I had a HUGE infestation of earwigs in my brand new green
house (How did they move in there so fast???) They were so bad they even
pulled zinnia seedlings up and ate the roots! I tried using diotomaceous
earth but it didn't seem to bother them at all and I'm not to sure I
like the idea of using the stuff around my kids either.....Does anybody
have any ideas?
