Is funny things earwigs and I remember last season seeing them have a nice old chompity chomp on me Runner Beans.... A tip I found to work was to cut old hose pipe into sections about 1 foot to 18" long and lay this down near the crops.... what happens is the earwigs after having a nice munch set up camp in the old hosepipe,,,,, which you simply pick up and submerge in water.. thus drowning the earwigs... just one small point... it doesnt work with rabbits, not even baby ones...
