How To Control Earwigs In And Around Tub?

Hi all,

It's earwig season here in Canada. Last night we noticed several of the little creatures both in and around our tub. That quickly takes most of the pleasure out of what was otherwise a nice soak. What are other folks doing to combat these pests?

Thanks

Here's some information on how to control and remove them: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74102.html

Otherwise, I've used bug spray and sprayed around the patio/hot tub on a daily basis to get rid of them temporarily. I thought Raid Ant & Roach killer worked on them, but a quick check of their website shows it's not recommended. Ask at your local hardware store or home center for the right product to use.
