You might remember some time earlier Dalfyre (I think) was having trouble with Earwigs and I suggested using a vegetable oil trap but it didn't work for her. I don't know why unless Kiwi Earwigs are different to ours. It is the European Earwig that does the damage not the native one. Any how here is my oil trap from this year, the rotten cows were riddling my Broad Beans again.
The bowl has a couple of beetles, ants and a Cockroach along with hundreds of Earwigs. The light is the flash reflecting off of the oil but the photo is clearer than the ones with the sky reflecting from the oil.
