Most people can tolerate a few ants or box elder tugs, but , earwigs can cause even the most tolerant people to crack. Just the name gives many people nightmares. night-mares. Some believe that earwigs can crawl into your ear, move onto the brain and start eating. "Although it is a plausible explanation for some people's behavior, it is not true," says Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension horticulturist. horticultur-ist. "At one time it was believed that earwigs did little damage to plants. That is also not true." It's true that earwigs usually only eat dead and decaying material, mate-rial, he says. They have also been considered to be a beneficial predator because they eat some, types of aphids. However, that's not the whole story. These sneaky critters also munch on flowers, berries and vegetables. One tactic earwigs use is to feed at nigh when no one is around to notice their damage and destruction, Goodspeed says. . What's left after their late night dining spree looks like damage from a slug, snail or other bothersome both-ersome insect. If you suspect this awful pest may be an unwanted visitor to your landscape, go out at night with a flashlight and check your plants. If you do find an earwig or two, there are a couple of different ways to mini- mize their destruction. '-' "One trick is to put moist bread crumbs with bacon grease or vegetable oil into a tuna fish can, and leave it out overnight where you suspect earwigs are pillaging," Goodspeed says. "The next morning the despicable pests will have ventured into the can and died in the grease. I guess , even earwigs can't withstand the temptation of bacon." , Another trapping method is to -sprinkle a section of newspaper with a small amount of water, 4 then roll it tightly, he says. Toss the roll into the garden or flower bed before you go to bed. The1 next morning gather up the news- paper and throw it into the garbage. gar-bage. . f i Both of these methods work well to reduce insect numbers, Mapleton :s- Mapletdri Police had 47 calls last week. They are looking for suspects in the burglary of three homes in which stereos and CD's were taken. Police also assisted in talking to a female who had barricaded,, herself in the bathroom with a knife. She was taken to Wasatch Mental Health.

The idea is to shrink the population so there is less actual damage. Earwigs occasionally get into the house where they don't do much damage, but they are definitely defi-nitely are obnoxious, he says. There are some techniques to prevent them from gaining access to your home. First, make sure all cracks and crevices in the foundation are caulked and sealed. Earwigs can crawl through the smallest opening. They can also get in through ripped screens in windows and worn weather stripping around doors. Make sure these are all repaired. Outside your home, remove piles of rubbish or debris and mulch where they like to hide during the day, he adds. Some homeowners clean a one to two foot strip around the foundation founda-tion of the home to eliminate any reason for earwigs or other insects in-sects to even venture near. If earwigs do make their way into the house, simply vacuum them up, Goodspeed says. If you are still worried, wear earplugs to bed.

A little creative problem solving can go a long way to keep everyone, including household pets, comfortable this summer while holding energy costs down. A few strategically located fans can take a serious load off your air conditioning system. Dinner off the outdoor grill (or from the microwave) will use less power and save you again by not heating up the kitchen. Conserving energy during this crunch can save you dollars and help us be resourceful with everyone's supply. Here are some tips for you to consider. Give it some thought - you might have a few tricks of your own. Keep doors, windows and window coverings closed during dur-ing the hottest part of the day. Open windows to let in the cool morning and evening air. Use portable fans to stay cool instead of large air conditioning condition-ing systems when outdoor temperature is below 90F. . If you will be away from home foV more than a few days, unplug TVs, VCRs and computers as they draw power even when not in use. Use microwaves or outdoor grills instead of ovens. Use a programmable thermostat thermo-stat and set to 78F or higher . as comfort and health allow. Wait 'til late to use electricity. Avoid using your dishwasher and washerdryer during summer peak hours of 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Run only full loads. Make saving energy a habit. Do the bright thing.
