Since they prefer cool, moist places, a rolled up damp newspaper placed where earwig activity is suspected can be effective in collecting & discarding them. Reduce moisture your house & seal up cracks where they can get in.

Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around baseboards & window frames to deter them.

Try to keep soil dry around the foundation of the house & remove rotting material (like leaves), which they love to eat. Sharp, scratchy material (like Lava rock,pine needles, diatomaceous earth) around the foundation would also prevent them from coming in.

Harvard's website recommends using sticky traps which "will not only capture earwigs but will strongly indicate population levels and potential routes of access. Experience shows that traps placed at floor level in moist areas do best. Traps should be kept fresh because it takes a good sticky trap to hold earwigs."

Good luck! Hope this helps.

I read about this a week ago and have already spread the news to someone else and they said it seemed to work. Spray the little buggers with "shout" stain remover.
It kills them and it's harmless to pets and children. Good luck
