 They were just devastating plants before I could even get them in the ground. I mean, to leave them one night in a pot and there'd be earwig damage all over them. So I finally had to bring out some bait. And I would like to use less invasive, less toxic ways. The soy sauce or beer and oil on top of that in a can, just a thin layer of oil, has been pretty good at keeping the bugs, the earwigs, distracted from my plants.
