ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for and a method of collecting and disposing of earwigs is disclosed. The earwig collector of the present invention provides snug relatively dark passageways for earwigs to collect in. The apparatus is typically made of wood, preferably cedar, in order to be more attractive to earwigs. Earwigs are removed from the passageways of the apparatus by separating the first and second body portions from one another thus exposing the earwigs that have collected in the passageways and knocking the first and second body portions against one another to jolt the earwigs therefrom. The earwigs preferably fall into a container of soapy water and drown.
