For garden areas try not to have too moist of conditions/excessive
mulch. Rolled up newspaper is supposed to be an easy trap you can place
around the garden areas along with water traps with a few drops of bacon
grease.
For them finding their way inside try to cut out the moist conditions
and harborage spots next to the home along with making sure the weather
stripping to the doors are tight.
Place shallow aluminum pans half full of vegetable oil in your problem area
just before dark. Next morning there will be dozens of drowned earwigs in
the pan.
Regards,
Bill
