FloBear, there are safe slug pellets - Growing Success Advanced Slug Pellets - which are only toxic to slugs and snails. They are harmless to hedgehogs even if they eat the corpses, which they are very unlikely to.
I've been using them since they came out, and still have my hedgehogs, and a plethora of frogs and birds.
Having just stumbled on this thread, I'm wondering whether Triffd House's abundant spiders could be red spider mites, which do damage plants and are not actually red until autumn. It was pretty warm in April.

Thanks for mentioning these Alina. I have occasionally used these type but unfortunately most people don't.
They are not doing much harm-are you sure it is earwigs doing the damage and not something else?
Try the upturned pot trick mentioned above and you need to find out where they are hiding in the daytime.
