What is the best method to kill yard insects (spiders, earwigs, beetles, ants)? I own cats & a dog.
We also have a garden and toddlers. I want to kill the bugs without harming my pets, garden and children.

Insects are part of a complex ecosystem that keeps populations of any one insect from getting out of control. Even if there were a safe way to kill all of them en masse -- which there is not -- I'd advise against it.
You can manage earwig populations somewhat by getting rid of their hiding places, such as little piles of dead leaves.Join this conversation.
