Earwigs and GIANT Centipedes...

[PSYC0TIC ONE]

HOW THE FLAQ DO YOU GUYS GET RID OF THESE LITTLE ******S???

I can't seem to find a way around it... at night, my back porch is swarming with earwigs, and we have one or two giant centipedes living on the porch as well...

i flushed the centipede out of its little hiding place by spraying some gasoline at the base, but i was distracted by killing other earwigs that my wife started slamming on the window and pointed to the centipede scurring back into the yard, so i couldn't kill him...

what are some pesicides i can buy from home depot or other places that ACTUALLY WORK at getting rid of them? my wife cannot smoke on the back porch now without staring at the ground waiting on SOMETHING to crawl up her leg...

ideas? what do you guys do?

[Awwwjeez]

my wife cannot smoke on the back porch now

Maybe thats not such a bad thing. Unless she's the type to get crabby without a cig. Sucks about the insects though.

earwigs? I don't know about those....All I know is, the only guaranteed way of killing centipedes is dismembering their heads, that's pretty much the only effective way.

We used to have a bug that was like an earwig/centipede. We called them creepy crawlers. They were about two inches long, tons of legs, and FASSTTT. They made a mess when you killed them, which was anywhere, because they could crawl on anything.

i went to home depot and picked up some ortho max someshit, we'll see if this stuff works... but on direct contact, earwigs are pussies compared to this shit

good luck, I hate centipedes. Scorpions suck too, but centipedes are worse. Tons on Maui.

Are earwigs, the ones that curl up on itself? If so, we call'em millipedes. When they curl up into a spool, I just throw'em as far as I can.
