Although earwigs are mostly harmless, they\u2019re still not something I want to encounter in or around my home.

Facebook user Alicia Alexander explained that she got rid of a whole bunch of earwigs in her backyard by filling a shallow bowl with about half a cup of\u00a0\u00a0olive oil<\/span>. Then, simply place the bowl outside in your garden or on your deck. After less than 24 hours, this is how many earwigs were in the bowl:<\/p>\n

Pretty wild, right? It seems like for whatever reason, the earwigs are attracted to the\u00a0\u00a0olive oil<\/span>, climb into the bowl, and then are unable to get out.<\/p>\n

Although earwig populations seem to be on the rise in general, the presence of earwigs in or around your home could indicate problems with rotting wood. Many\u00a0pests, including earwigs, are attracted to rotting wood, so it\u2019s always a good idea to check on the structure of your home, as well as the condition of any wood decks, porches, etc.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re sick of earwigs ruining the party, hopefully this simple yet mighty hack will help do the trick. Thanks<\/p>\n
