earwigs and corn

 Hi Guys,

The local earwigs seems to love my corn.  Any organic/natural way to
defeat them?  Any words of wisdom?

I read to roll up some newspaper and wet it down.  They would
hide in it during the day.  They stay in my corn instead.

Many thanks,
-T

keep the hay in the pot, perhaps they
used paper with holes in it.  check it
once every few days and empty them out.

Dunno... I haven't caught the critter doing it to mine either.

Maybe Tanglefoot at the base of each plant? (if you don't have acres of
corn)
