I have a worm farm that is being invaded by little black ants. I was wondering if there was a safe way to get rid of the ants without killing the worms.

Can you get those little round tin containers of ant bait? I bet the worms wouldn't be interested in it, or very few of them would fit anyway. Just a thought. Let me know how it comes out and what solution you try. I'm interested in growing worms, too.
Hi Anna,
The instruction in my "Can-O-Worms" booklet suggests the following.
Raise the moisture content. (I splashed water all over the top of mine)
HOPE IM NOT TOO LATE,BUT ME & MY MOM IN LOUISIANA HAD RAISED EARTH WORMS & SHE WOULD PUT COFFEE GROUNDS IN WITH THE WORMS WHO LOVED TO EAT IT ALSO,BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHY WE NEVER SEEN ANY ANTS,UNTIL I MADE A MISTAKE & GAVE THE EARTH WORMS SELF RISING CORNMEAL INSTEAD OF PLAIN YELLOW & THAT WAS A BAD SITE,LOL! I HOPE IT HELPS IT WANT HURT THE WORMS & ALSO TRY NEWS PAPER IN THERE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER FACTOR TOO!!GOOD LUCK!
ON THOSE COFFEE GROUNDS YOU CAN USE THE USED COFFEE GROUNDS THATS CHEAPER THAN WASTING IT.
