Simple, Easy, DIY Earwig Trap - That Gets Rid of Them Whilst You Sleep
#earwigs
Are your garden plants riddled with mysterious, ragged holes?
The culprits might be earwigs—nocturnal insects that can wreak havoc on your greens.
But what if I told you there's a simple, eco-friendly solution using common household items?
One way to control earwigs in the garden is to use a baited trap.
This simple trap I will show you today, is buried in the soil, with a small cover over it to prevent
the trap filling water when it rains.
It uses soy sauce as the attractant to draw the earwigs in, and water with a layer of vegetable
oil on top, so when the earwigs fall in, they can’t swim and crawl out, and they drown in the
container.
To make this simple DIY earwig bait trap, the first thing you need to do is - Fill a small
container about a third full with water.
Use a small yogurt container, small jar, tuna tin, large pill bottle or anything that is fairly deep.
Next, Add 2 tablespoons, that’s about 30 millilitres of soy sauce.
Finally, Pour in vegetable oil to form a layer on the surface of the water, use just enough oil to
cover the surface in a thin layer.
The next step is to set up the trap.
Bury the container in the soil, leaving the top sticking up a slight amount above the soil, to stop
the surrounding soil from falling into the trap, which will render it ineffective.
Cover the trap with a large plastic lid or plant pot saucer to protect it from rain, so it doesn’t
get flooded and washed out.
Use a cover larger than the container, so it extends a reasonable way around the edge of the
small container to act as a kind of shelter.
Prop up the cover with 4 stones placed around the jar.
The stones should be large enough to elevate the cover above the soil surface, leaving a small
gap all the way around between the container and the cover for the earwigs to crawl under.
Leave the bait trap in place for a few days, and it will fill with earwigs.
Dump the resultant mess into the compost, and then refill the container for the next round.
Earwigs are nocturnal, they come out at night to feed.
These traps can be placed in the garden near piles of wood, rocks or other garden debris where
earwigs hide during the day, or in garden beds where new vegetable seedlings are planted to
protect them from earwigs.
By following these steps, you can manage earwig populations in your garden naturally and
protect your plants from further damage.
With this simple trap, you're taking a proactive step towards a thriving, earwig-free garden.
