Mother flocking earwigs....

Somehow I got an earwig problem.... I have done some reading about the benefits ( eating larvae, aphids etc) but I am not sure I want them flocking around in my veg room, I had them indoors at some point and around this time every year we get some climbing around in the house... If I wanted to kill the bastards before they enter bloom (another week) what would I do? I also found a millipede in their... I know Colorado has this exp...

Roots? I was under the impression that they will seek out larvae and aphids in the microbial zone if nothing is there they might eat leaves.... but I never heard of roots... Any sources?

Hey chewberto We haven't had them yet surprise as we have had everything else lol. So from what I read they usually have a burrow and they can be hard to get rid of if you don't locate the burrow. Each female can lay 30-50 eggs so they will spread and they are omnivorous so my guess is that in a pinch they could eat the girls or maybe some roots. No pun intended. Let us know how you spray for them bro.
