How to Kill Earwigs With Household Products
- 1). Moisten a rolled newspaper slightly and set it where you've noticed earwigs. In the morning, shake the earwigs trapped in the newspaper into a bucket of warm, soapy water to kill them.
- 2). Mix 3 tbsp. dish soap with warm water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on earwigs to kill them. Vacuum the dead earwigs or pick them up with a damp paper towel.
- 3). Pour vegetable oil into a shallow container with straight sides and set it in the garden where you've found earwigs. The earwigs fall in the container and drown. Clean the container out frequently and discard dead earwigs.
