Default Earwigs indoors?

X-No-Archive:

I've always known about earwigs, but in the last month or so I've been
finding them everywhere inside. I have absolutely no why they've
marched indoors, as they have never been indoors in these large
numbers before. Ever.

A while ago I had a problem with moths in my pantry. When I started
using the Enviro Safe pantry moth trap

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta=

I found that it caught not only swarms of moths, but also lots of
earwigs and other bugs as well. When I last bought these traps, there
was only a couple of these traps per packet, and they were not at all
cheap. I know yeast/beer lures slugs and snails like nothing on earth.
Surely there must be something simple that lures earwigs. The sticky
trap idea is very effective though. Any ideas?
