I kind of like the idea of sucking him out.... have you tried vacuuming it, with a crevice tool maybe? After emptying the reservoir, of course.

this thread is hilarious, so sorry about the bug, rotten luck, but it is funny to read about! I think I'd empty the water, pulverize the bug with a knitting needle or something, then turn it upside down over the sink and use the sprayer to flush out the bug bits! yuck Then I'd scrub the sink.
Did you know earwigs stink, when you smash them? They have some sort of abdominal gland, with stinkum. Do you really want your nice, clean fabric to possibly smell like earwig stinkum?

Good idea for a funky quilt, ways to kill bugs.
Im making a funky bug quilt, maybe, in honor of you, ill put a ug in an iron.
Come to think of it, earwigs sink in water - one fell in my dishpan the other day. So he may be right down the bottom of the water part.

He is biodegradable so eventually he will dissolve. You notice I used "he" because obviously he was lost and didn't stop to get directions.
As for my iron it has not created any problem as far as staining anything I have a ff white cover on the board and check it always when I use it. It is a Rowenta iron so I do not want t toss it if it works I mean the creature is sure boield by now and can not get to me. The opening is to small to do all the suggestions I have received, so I have decided to just let it rest and see how long he lasts. UGG I mean it is only a bug!! I should send and email to Rowenta and see what they say.
