would be greatly appreciated suggestions?

Thanks!

Why?

The are harmless and stay under the pots and rocks.
I rarely, if ever, see them indoors.

There is a commercial earwig bait that looks just like slug bait that I use
with great success. I put mine in a little earwig house with a roof to keep
it dry and prevent the poison from getting into the soil. I also use empty
margarine or cottage cheese tubs with holes cut around the sides in the same
way. The earwigs go into the nice dry dark space with food and die there.

Why? It's kinda embarassing when there are a bunch of them running
around in your basement!

Odd.

There must be something for them to eat or they'd not be there???

I've rarely ever found them in the house except in underneath house
plant pots. :-)

Why are they in your basement?

Don't know. Nothing down there for them to eat.

Yes, I tried Ebay, but no joy.
