Hi Doris,
DD>Sue, if these are still in your house when it is very cold outside, you
DD>could have them in plants.  Do you have indoor plants?  The earwigs
DD>could be in the soil.  You can treat the soil with stuff like diazinon
DD>and it won't hurt any pets you have.  Have you got any spiders in
I have a few indoor plants but I got them way after the earwigs appeared. I 
don't think they are in the soil.
your DD>house?  Check basement areas or dark areas for webs.  First of all 
DD>don't kill the spiders, secondly see if there are any trapped earwigs 
DD>in the spider webs.  The first year that we bought our
We have lots of spider webs. (I'm not a good housekeeper!:)) But never have 
seen any earwigs there.
the aluminum window fits when DD>closed, is a good place to put baby talcum 
powder. (Note that not all DD>baby powders are talcum...I think that 
Johnson's might be the only DD>one.) Talc will kill earwigs.  Shake
Thanks for the tip. I just saw another earwig today...crawling on my bathroom 
shower mat..upstairs!!!! How did it get all the way up there? They must like 
moisture. I just wish the cold would kill them all off but I think it just 
gives them chance to multiply!!!! Will the talc hurt a cat? We have one.
