A Facebook user, Alicia Alexander, shared a successful method to eliminate earwigs. By placing a shallow bowl filled with half a cup of olive oil in your yard or on your deck, you can effectively trap these insects. They are attracted to the oil but cannot escape once inside.
This method proved to be highly effective for Alicia, as demonstrated by the number of earwigs collected in her bowl after just 24 and 36 hours.
