Earwigs

Since Ontario has banned earwig pellets and I am overrun with the pests, I've been looking into ways to deal with them.

I read that they are attracted to fish oil. Our local dollar store has sardines 3 for $1 I thought I might get some and smash up the sardines, add more oil and set them out on half buried margarine containers with holes cut at ground level.

I don't want to go to the trouble if it's unlikely to work.

Has anyone used this kind of trap for earwigs? How do you deal with them?

I'm pretty sure there was a thread either about earwigs or that had info about them somewhere here in the past year or so. Search at the bottom of the page to see if there was - you'll probably find your answers there. :)
