diatomaceous earth will stop them little pricks. Just spread over the top if your potting soil.

neem oil & a soap , like dr bronners peppermint liquid soap 

made into a spray

&

cut a length of hose & sit it on the soil at the top of the pot 

regularly check the hose by shaking it in a bucket of soapy

water to kill the earwigs that hide in there

These little mofo's recently got into my hardwired smoke alarm circuit and caused the alarms to constantly trip somehow. When they hit here they hit in plague proportions. fortunately haven't turned to any crop yet. *touch wood*

i've read petroleum jelly earwigs won't cross 

never tried it but it comes up a bit , put some round the base of the stork of your plant

might help to put some round holes they might try to get in , they like night time to do there thing but are attracted to light 

& didn't know some of them can fly they say , can't say i've seen that b4

Cheers, mate. Some handy tips there. TBH, I know little about them. As you mentioned they're attracted to light at night, the alarms do have have a small green LED to show that they're active so I guess they must be attracted to that.

Cheap vegetable oil in a shallow jar lid or something. Leave overnight near plants and it will be full of dead war wife in the morning. Earnings usually eat slugs and don't damage plant too much there must be a lot of them?
