I use dry Epson salt, sprinkled around the entire garden, bugs hate it flowers love it. Most farm stores sell it in large bags, it's also great to keep insects out of your lawn.

Put some cardboard in your garden and remove it the next day the earwigs will get in the cardboard to hide. next day repeat and leave it over night and then throw them away. repeat until they are gone! No poison!
