Pest & Diseases > Advice please
We need some advice on earwig control. At the moment we have traps set and a couple of different sprays which say they kill earwigs but i think it just acts as a cologne for them now. We have reduced the damage to all our seedlings and adult plants a bit but it doesn't seem like we are winning the battle and we want to win this battle. Has anybody got success with anything on the market which we haven't found yet or any different advice. Thanks all.
Earwigs hide in cracks during the day and feed at night. There are various insecticides including Pyrethrums, carbaryl and malathion. The best time to spray is in the evening aiming to catch the insects as they start to feed. As you have found they are really difficult to deal with. For best results use a combination of trapping and insecticides
