Q.How do I get rid of earwigs?
Earwigs are destroying my Marigolds. What can I do to get rid of them? They are chewing the foliage until there is hardly any left and the blossoms are dying, not sure what will get rid of them. HELP!!

I would recommend neem oil. It is safe for people, pets and beneficial bugs but kills most of the bad bugs. Here is more information on it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
