Bonus Episode August 2022 Earwigs are Beneficial Insects for your Garden

I thought you might like to hear my recent article in the TV News:

August 2022

It’s hot, is it not?! But that’s summer, and at least our nights drop down to cool things off. Besides you can always go jump in a lake, we certainly have lots of them around the Tobacco Valley. For me, getting to run through the sprinkler while I water the lawn is still pretty exciting as we didn’t have running water for a long time. And watering the garden is the word of the day! WATER, WATER, WATER. I don’t feel like we can keep our garden/lawn hydrated.

We are finally starting to harvest more and more each day even though it seems late in the season. We had a delicious dinner the other night of fresh potatoes, string beans and cherry tomatoes! Our beets are getting bigger and the beet greens we thin between rows are delicious to sauté with some mini beets mixed in. I also like to blanch the greens to freeze for winter when I’m jonesing for some deep leafy vegetables and I can’t bring myself to buy them in the produce aisle.

One of the most common questions I get about the garden is what to do about pests?

This year it seems like there is an overwhelming amount of earwigs AKA pincher bugs everywhere, which used to really creep me out but I have since learned are some of the best insects to have in your garden as they eat a lot of the bad bugs that destroy your plants. Contrary to popular folk tales they do not crawl in your ears and lay eggs in your brain.

They do like cool moist places to hang out and are generally only active at night. They are attracted to bright lights so even though they are nocturnal they are often found underneath pots on porches that are lit up in the evenings. Earwigs tend to hang by themselves, not belonging to a colony so infestations are usually not a problem. If you find them indoors, they’ll appreciate being moved back outside where they can act like a sanitation engineer clearing your garden of pests and disease.

Earwigs are not a threat to humans and won’t bite or sting you. Their pincers are for eating prey and repelling predators. Although they have small wings, they don’t really fly as much as glide from a high spot.

Another benefit is they attract birds, lizards and frogs to your garden who enjoy eating these power predators. Besides gobbling the pests in your garden earwigs also enjoy feasting on dead and decaying leaves helping your plants look and feel healthier.

Another important garden tip I have learned over the years is to spend a lot of time observing your plots. When you see something like bug bites on your leaves turn them over in the early morning and see if there’s a caterpillar there that needs removing.

If you do get an aphid infestation, see if you don’t get a beneficial insect that will eat the aphids and then move on. Many people post photos of tiny black wasps eating the tasty white bugs and want to kill them instead of letting them do their job. Often if you just wait a few days the whole problem will take care of itself. You might find ladybugs or lacewings lured in by the aphids who also disappear when their food supply is gone. Beware, ladybug babies look like weird black bugs you might be afraid are eating your plants but they actually are really good for your garden.

Here’s to the beneficial bugs of summer!

So welcome to the show, Dalas, how exciting.1m 20sDalasYeah. Thank you so much for having me on. I'm really excited to be here. Am I right about that? Are you in San Diego? We're kind of all over the place. We have properties down in San Diego, but I, myself am actually based in LA.1m 35sJackieMarieOkay, well go ahead and tell us a little bit about Sundae and the advantages of selling a home off market and how Sundae ensures customers get the highest price for their home now off market. That's not what we're seeing in Montana right now, right? Like this market is, is that a buyer's market? Because here we are the sellers market. I mean, most houses are not listed for like two days and you have cash in hand unless you are like pricing your place out of, you know, I mean, just the prices are insane from our perspective, my husband and I, he was showing me this place.2m 22sJackieMarieHe's like that can't possibly be right. Can it, but probably people are leaving California and coming here.2m 30sDalasHmm, no, the, the market right now is absolutely insane. And what Sundae is able to offer is we're a marketplace that connects homeowners of distressed homes with hundreds of local investors, so that homeowners can really get the best price possible. So Sundae will come in, take care of everything. And if you're a homeowner that's looking to sell as is, we'll meet with you on your schedule, put together a complete package to present to our investors, and then they bid and compete to give you the best offer for your home.

There are absolutely no fees to sell through Sundae, and we can even give homeowners a $10,000 cash advance upfront to help with any immediate needs, such as moving, relocating. As you said, a lot of people are moving out of state to Montana. So that's something that we can offer. And on average, our homeowners, when they sell on our marketplace, they get 10 to 12 offers, which is incredible. And they're really getting, getting the best price for their home without having to sell the traditional route.3m 46sJackieMarieWell, I'm just going to back up a tiny bit. So one of
