If you've begun growing your own vegetables and fruit, you'll likely have become hyper-aware of all the critters that are desperate to eat it before you do. So, how to deal with earwigs in your vegetable garden?
That's right; while many of us tend to spend our time wondering how to get rid of slugs, it seems we should spare a thought for earwigs, too – particularly if you're trying to grow your own vegetables.
'Earwigs can be helpful if you have fruit trees in your garden as they will eat pesky aphids and nematodes. However, it's a different story when it comes to vegetable gardens as they feast on the leaves of many vegetable plants (and fruit plants),' says Morris Hankinson, director of Hopes Grove Nurseries.
