As far as I know, earwigs are not really a threat to your orchids. I think they most probably just like living in the damp medium in your pots. Soaking your pots thoroughly under water should give them the hint that they are not welcome. I've included a link that has a logical-sounding preventative measure. I don't think you need to use Agent Orange on 'em!
