the wet spring has led to an infestation of earwigs at my house...lovely

[fizzgig]

they are so damn nasty and one of the very few things i will kill

:puke:

[Danger Mouse]

1. They like warm, wet places...like inside of your head.

Be careful.

2. I will kill them too. Earwigs moved into my neighbourhood when I was about 16. They

never lived in my neck of the woods before that.

3. Make sure you wear earplugs to bed...

Maybe it's a myth that they crawl inside your ears, and maybe it's not. With the earplugs, you won't lose sleep over it.

4. Are those the disgusting buggers that look like Khan's mind-control earworms?

5. They crawl under pots on my balcony. They don't seem so bad.

6. They've taken over my house in Denver, too.

:puke: My roommate is terrified of them.

[Heidi]

7. I had never even HEARD of earwigs until I moved to the Western Slope.

Gag, gag, gag. Imagine my delight when I found that southern Switzerland also has earwigs. :scared:

I don't kill 'em, but I do get CMW to give 'em a ride outdoors and PDQ. :puke:

8. They're not actually dangerous.

You just need to keep them out of your food.

9. Here we have an infestation of ticks.

Never seen anything like it.

10. I once nicked my ear while shaving

My wife says my earwig took 10 years off my age.
