Common areas for earwigs to hang out include tree trunk cracks, rotting trees stumps, under stones and pottery, behind loose boards, and old mulch. You can take any small cans such as tuna or chicken and fill them half way with water. Add a slice of apple to each can.
Earwigs will be attracted to the smell and drown themselves. Another similar tactic is to lay lids around about the size of a mayonnaise lid. Place vegetable oil and an orange slice in them. Earwigs will be attracted yet again and he oil will coat and kill them.
Make sure that your lawn is free of any unwanted mulch, debris, and leaves, Another great tactic on how to get rid of earwigs naturally, is to roll news papers or burlap sacks into a cylinder. Secure with rubber bands and wet them. Lay these around your garden at night. Earwigs love the moisture and will crawl into them for the night. When morning comes, place the cylinders into plastic bags and throw them away. This will get rid of many earwigs.
