Late June Tour plus a battle with EARWIGS 🤢🙅🏻‍♀️

There have been a lot of ups and downs in the garden this spring/early summer! We have had SO much rain, which is overall great - and has led to lots of growth. However, it has meant an abundance of EARWIGS, which I cannot stand.
I have been trying to deal with them using various mechanical and cultural controls. This was my primary reference when trying to find ways to deal with these pests. It's not their fault they look like all of my nightmares come to life!

    All this rain is revenge because we complained about the drought. But most of my plants are loving their lives this year and I'm not flooded so I can't complain. 😊 I love your little coleus pots too and the blue container with the elephant ear. Looking good!

    @@laurelrosegardens6454 thank you so much! And I know - definitely need to be careful what I wish for. I am also glad for the rain, though, and fortunately I’m not flooded either. Whew!
