Pretty wild, right? It seems like for whatever reason, the earwigs are attracted to the olive oil, climb into the bowl, and then are unable to get out.

Although earwig populations seem to be on the rise in general, the presence of earwigs in or around your home could indicate problems with rotting wood. Many pests, including earwigs, are attracted to rotting wood, so it’s always a good idea to check on the structure of your home, as well as the condition of any wood decks, porches, etc.

If you’re sick of earwigs ruining the party, hopefully this simple yet mighty hack will help do the trick. Thanks
