Peanut Oil to Battle Earwigs?
My Butterfly Bush is under an attack by earwigs. At night I go out
with a flashlight to find nearly every single leaf being munched on by
a marauding earwig. Looking for organic retalliation, I read here
that a tuna can of cooking oil will lure the earwigs to their death.
I tried this remedy with Peanut oil, yet not one single earwig has
taken the nosedive o' death in the pool of oil. Does peanut oil just
not work? Should I be using corn oil instead, or seek another
solution?
