Earwigs? They're pretty chill.

Hopefully you have an ant nest near your garden, they'll guard your shirt 24/7

ive only used pesticides when it is absolutely positively needed


otherwise, ants/mantis/lady bugs keep things nice.

Its possible, its not them eating anything. Unless for your own eyes you have seen the chewing away.

Do not nuke your garden dude, you will be setting your soils development back 20 years.

Lets do it organically. Do you have dried Rosemary or Spearmint around? If you do, add 1/4 cup to a quart and shake it well as much as possible for 24 hours. After this dilute 1 to 10 parts water and foilar and soil drench.

Next I would worry about prevention. Try more flowers in your garden to attract the good bugs and confuse the bad.

Planting onions and garlic around the outside edge of your garden will prevent some slug and larva from forming.

Also if the Rosemary doesn't work, do the same steeping with ground garlic and hot peppers.

These should work, and some simple planting of extra good plants will help you.

Seriously man stay away from those nasty chemicals. Would you want to eat anything grown in a reactor?

At the end of the day a potting soil isn't about amendments, it isn't about aeration amendments (as to which one) - the only thing that makes a soil viable or not is the humus source. The best Sphagnum peat moss, hand-filitered glacial rock dust, virgin neem meal, blah, blah, blah can't fix bad humus.

Neem is another good thing, bit honestly its nothing the Rosemary isn't already. If the Rosemary mint isn't working trying upping the strength before trying something else. Results should be seen pretty quickly.

Mantis are AWESOME for your garden. Let them eat anything, he will keep you aphid free.

Bugging lady bugs? Personally id pass. The increase of bright flowers and smells will attract enough.
