Least-harmful pesticides??? [ Was: pill bugs ]

That is what I am trying to figure out, my sage and basil have circular nibbles right out of the middle of the leaves, and something ate my dill down to the stem...grrr. However, the parsley, cilantro and chives have not been touched to date. Its a small memorial garden for my son so they are all On a related note, assuming the problem is not slugs, can anyone recommend some minimally-harmful pesticides, probably for earwigs? I planted some lettuce, basil, and pak choy, and all of the seedlings are dying the death of 10,000 nibbles. Within a week or two, I don't think I'll have any seedlings left. I'm guessing that the problem is earwigs, as they seem to be pretty prevalent around here. I've tried neem, but that doesn't seem to be working. Someone recommended a tuna can with vegetable oil and soy sauce as a trap; does that actually work?
