Earwig Traps ~ Tomato Worms

 

Our mailbox has been taken over by earwigs.  Never, in all the years here, have we had this happen.  I read about making traps, by rolling toilet paper roll over a pen, and stapling one end to trap them.  They go in and can't turn around to get out.  I set two in the back of the mailbox.

They did not work.  Just a quick post today. I'm putting a sticky bug trap out there in the back of it.  The kind that fold over and the bugs crawl through it and get stuck.


Found two tomato plants with work activity.  I found one horn worm, but could not find the other.  I hope to have time to go look for it today, before it destroys the plant.
