If you dont know what Europian ear wigs are its probably because you dont get them around where you live. Because if they are around you know it.
There the ugliest little bastards ever.
Now where I live, once every year around this time we start seeing them creepin around the house.
Raid doesnt even seem to be killing them anymore, so one of my friends told me an easy way to get rid of them.
What you do is get a spray bottle from a store or you more than likely already have one around the house anyways.
Pour in some dish detergent, about half an inch worth.
In the bottle fill it up to about 3/4 of water and shake it a lot. There needs to be a lot of bubbles in it.
Next time you see them spray it on them. They will die almost instantly. It stops them from breathing.
You can also spray it in places where you usually see them coming from and they wont come back threw it.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
Dont be like uh its just the water drowning them.
Its the soap because when you spray it somewhere they wont cross the path.
Even when the bubbles are gone and you cant see the path there anymore they can for like 6 hours or more.

Jul 27, 2006 11:59 am - these things are so annoying, ugly and repulsive. I usually freeze them with butane if they get in my house, or spray them with isopropyl alcohol they don’t seem to like either of these substances :). 5*
Jul 27, 2006 12:14 pm - good egg 5*.
what we used to do when we were young is put a chewed piece of gum on his pinchers, push down, and pull his body away. They usually stay alive but they don’t have pinchers anymore. Then we used to put them in my friends bird cage.
Jul 27, 2006 2:20 pm - god i hate those things. right when when i was about to get into my bed, i lifted up the covers and there was an earwig crawling around. i saw one crawl out of my dads shoes once...eww. earwig incident 3, i watched one go into my laptop through the cooling vent. i have no idea if hes still in the computer im writing this post with. 5*****Starz d(-_-d)
Jul 27, 2006 3:29 pm - I used to play with those things all the time, once I tried squishing one but it wouldn’t die so we made a huge war and just watched them kill each other

Jul 27, 2006 8:21 pm - Thats like the most common way to kill bugs, I had to spray my house outside everyday with dish soap to kill litterally the 1000+ box elder bugs... they look like this...
Those things were in masses all over the sidewalk and some inside the house.
Jul 27, 2006 9:16 pm - damn that sucker looks big! try this, take some chalk and make a big circle around an ant on pavement. lol its cool, the ant wont leave that spot ever
Jul 27, 2006 10:13 pm - earwigs lol there not really that big thus the name EARwig.
they are reeeeaaalllyy nasty little buggers. they were named earwigs because europeans thought they go into your brain through your ear and lay eggs that when it hatches will start biting away at your brain.which people know is false now.
something ive noticed is that they love high places. I used to go to a school a few blocks away that was up a hill and id find like 20 a day but when I got back home (down the hill from the school) I could only find like 1-5 in my back yard
Jul 28, 2006 3:01 am - i know yeh oinkinstein thats where they like to hide.. in alot of dark closed places.. i used to have a hammock in my back yard and they all lived in there and they are in my camping chair cases...eeewww i hate them, nice egg 5*
Aug 02, 2006 9:26 pm - If you live in Australia they are everywhere...just leave some wooden box or something outside for a month and lift it up and you find them everywhere, just get a hammer and smash em.
Jan 01, 2007 5:41 pm - The pincers, stragley enough, are not for pincing.
The earwig has wings.
Unfortunately for the bug, they are more in the style of a hangglider.
The earwig will climp high before unfolding the wings and ’gliding’.
Th pincers are simply used to store their ’parachute’.
