Fonseca, earwigs and pillbugs are plentiful here, especially earwigs. I hate them, but not as much as the evil fire ants. Both seem to eventually find my container plants, so I am on guard anyway. Finally found a product that takes care of fire ants, I just have to stay on top of it.

I also use my own finished compost in my containers. I got lazy about it and didn't have any ready when I planted out but I have a couple piles coming along nicely.

I went ahead and mulched containers with the leaves. All seems well at least for now.
