Question Earwigs

I found more than the "usual" numbers of earwigs recently in 2 Phaius pots and 2 Stanhopea baskets, well separated. I had some Liquid Sevin handy. The label includes earwigs on the list. However, I didn't see a recommendation for a dosage/dilution.

Yesterday, I tried the "minimal" Sevin recommendation, 2/3 oz per gallon of water. Thus, I mixed 2 oz in 3 gallons. Was this strong enough?

When should I do a "repeat" application of the product (in plain English, when should I poison 'em, ag'in)? I'm not familiar with these animals. I don't want them chomping up the roots of MY plants!
