Does sluggo work on earwigs? I was at the local gardening store and I saw sluggo plus, which was really expensive for a tiny box. I would need like 100 boxes to get of my earwig problem. It said it was for slugs, earwigs, and pill bugs. However does normal sluggo do the same thing? I could really care less about getting rid of pill bugs.
I can't say that I have had any problems with slugs this year (knock on wood while I type that). We had a very dry spring, and I think that kept them at bay. However I have an explosion of earwigs once again. I rearranged one of my hosta beds on Thursday, and when I would dig up hosta and pick them out of the ground earwigs were literally dropping off them in hoards. They seem to be living in the stems of the hostas close to the ground. They also like to chew little holes in my hostas and can eat almost a whole coneflower in one night.
We have copper tops on the ends of our fence posts. The other day I picked one up to clean the copper and was totally grossed out to find at least 50 earwigs and their babies living in it. So I picked off all the copper tops and made sure to kill all of them. I have to say they are one insect that no matter how much I see them, they still totally repulse me!
