Default earwigs

Hi

I planted a young honeysuckle a few months ago, and it was growing really
nicely up against a fence till I noticed the foliage was being eaten. At
first I thought it was slugs, but I've never came across any, or noticed any
tracks, but on a night time raid I found it was covered in earwigs.
I killed as many as I could find, but there is always a few more each time I
inspect the plant and a lot of the leaves have been munched. Are they the
culprits of this tale, and if so, is there any tips or something to spray
the plant with to stop further damage.

Also I have a couple of bird feeders on the fence that finches and tits
mainly frequent, but I've never noticed them picking at the plant.
