Earwigs have been chewing the living hell out of my Basil plants. They do

stop their nasty feeding? I garden Organically, so chemical pesticides are
out. Anybody??


I like floating row cover a whole lot. Solves an awful lot
of insect problems.

I think diatomaceous earth dusted on the plants would kill
any earwigs that you might have trapped UNDER the floating
row cover.
