Earwigs!! Ick!! They are everywhere..including under the glass of a picture in my kitchen...that was gross. We had to take the picture apart to get it out and when we took it off the wall, there was another one on the back of the picture. Then we noticed that even after we closely looked at our dog's dish and did not see any when we brought it in the house, we would find one or two on it just moments later as we were filling the dish. We took the handles off and found them, squirming under the handle. That's how they were getting in...hiding inside the space between the handle and the dish where we could not see. So, we are leaving the handles off.

I have heard that if you place wet newspapers in a plastic bag and leave it out overnight, you'll bait and trap them. So if you've also got a case of earwigs, maybe that will help you too.
