How about covering the seedlings with floating row cover or
nylon net? You can make a 'cage' out of chicken wire, and
cover that with nylon net. Fiberglass window screening
would work also.

Thanks, but the earwigs are probably hiding in the (cocoa-shell)
mulch, and so a row cover wouldn't work (unless the culprit isn't
earwigs). Periodically replacing the mulch has been suggested, but I'd
be concerned about accidentally pulling out some of the emerging
seedlings if I did that.
