Must comment on Aaron's method of removing Earwigs!
- Fine on the trapping method.
Disposal?
Why kill, when there is no real need to do so - especially when it is considered that these insects
are usually beneficial.

I suggest that the trapping container is shook out several metres away from the area of the hive(s).

Seeing as the top surface of the inner hive cover is an ideal habitat, removal will only leave the
location free for other earwigs to move in.
Let nature be!!

P.S.. Anybody got data on earwigs placed in lit smoker causing V.d. to fall from adult bees?
