To keep the bugs out of your grindal worm culture, you must keep them in
very wet soil.

Mites are a pest - they don't sink in the tank water and are lots of
competition for the worms wanted for food. A torch will kill off the
majority of them without melting the plastic.

After getting the worms started again start an second culture and try
to keep the competition at a minimum. Once a new culture gets going
good it is time to try to get rid of the mites completely. Get some
of the best most robust areas of the culture into enough water, a big
glass of water or a 1.5 gallon critter keeper and let the worms
settle.

Take the PURE worms off the bottom and start up a clean culture -
this time keep the competition out with screens, panty hose or what
ever - keep out the bugs and get new culture growing strong. Toss the
rest of the mess and clean things up.

A clean culture produces best, it takes a little extra time but in
the long run it pays.
Paradichlorobenzene works on the worms as much as it does on the mites.


Change as much water as often as you can!
