Earwigs

I am having major earwig problems in my garden. I am usually pretty good about not freaking out about bugs (after a childhood of spider phobia brought on by finding them - at different moments - in my hair, ear, underwear, bed, and sleeping bag), but earwigs give me the serious willies. I am tempted to rip out all my plants and start from scratch. Good thing I'm broke and can't afford to do that. They hide inside the flowers and I'm sure that one of these days I'm going to sniff something beautiful and inhale an earwig into my sinuses. No one gets cut flowers from me this summer until the outbreak is under control.
