And the winner is.......

   The CAT FOOD CAN raaaaahhhh !!! Yes the sweet smell of success. I found these two organic ways to trap the pesky earwig on  a UC Davis website, (my alma mater). The first was a cat food can with 1/2" of vegetable oil and it worked wonders. I put about 9 out and and all of them had at least 3 earwigs. Another great thing happened. They trapped ants too!!! I plan on putting more out as I am now convinced this was my culprit. 
   The next trap was a rolled up newspaper. You go out in the morning with a bucket of soapy water and shake the paper over it to drown the earwigs. Epic fail and I can't say I wasn't too dissappointed. I would much rather the little buggers drown themselves in vegetable oil.
