Did you try diatomaceous earth? I use it in garden for bad bugs.

Diatomaceous earth is great stuff. I've used it for crickets and ants. It's reputed to also be effective on earwigs, cockroaches, and all kinds of other harmful insects. Does the same thing to the exoskeleton that a spike strip does to a car's tires.

Great if you have scorpions, too.

We do/did, in the TX Hill Country.

DE is the only way I can grow collards and kale without them being et up alive by the tiny bugs that love them.
