Last night I tried Canola oil (hey, what can I say, I try and eat
healthy!) but still got the same disappointing result. Zero
particpants in the swimming pool o' doom.


Did you float the oil above some soy sauce? For some reason,
soy sauce seems to attract earwigs -- at least, in my experience.


I'll have to try the soy sauce tonight. Last night's efforts of using
the corrugated cardboard, plastic hose, and two kinds of oil resulted
in ZERO earwigs! Zero! Maybe these pesky guys have been reading this
newsgroup and are on to us!
