naw Im just playin
ive never had earwig problems before so im not really sure

More feedback would be greatly apprecited

did you use dirt from outside?

if so go to astore get new dirt and carefully transplant.

N I used my own Does anyone know a pesticide that kills them

earwigs do not eat plants. they are a beneficial insect. Maybe its another pest but the presence of earwigs is a good thing

Got the same problem: top leaves are getting eaten absolutely alive.

Watered my girls and out come tons of earwigs. There's an organic pesticide soap they sell at Lowe's that I found that kills the bastards on contact and it has potassium salts as the active ingredient, so look for that. Kills spider mites too. We will see if this fixes the problem.

I will let ya know!

Was at walmart today and seen some kind of organic pesticide. It said it kill a few different kinds of bugs including earwigs and spidermites.. it was only like 4.99
