Will it kill the worms in my compost ?

Anything that dramatically increases the heat in a composter will kill your worms. This is the reason you should not put grass in a worm composter -- grass raises the temperature too high for healthy worms. Worm composting relies on a good balance of browns and greens so throwing a bunch of greens into the mix is not a good idea.

being that it is organic and uses organic microbes, they should not kill the earthworms or red worms in your compost since they create similar microbes and live in the same dirt. I would test it out with only a small bit if you are concerned and see if they are still living after a week of using it. i usu it for only starting a fresh batch without microbes or worms.

Perfectly safe. These aren't the same types of worms that infect your animals. They only go after the insects in your soil.

Yes and it works wonderfully. That said I usually add this to my Bokashi and Kelp Meal to the worms (the worms also get the product of the Bokashi so they get it after the Bokashi microbes have worked on it for a bit which I think makes it more absorb-able for the worms).

It greatly depends on the size of worms, what you are using for bedding, and the size of composter. I would start with 200 worms and moist shredded paper and just add a small amount of fruit peel. I just learned they will repopulate more rapidly if there are less worms.

Probably not. From what I have read, the chemical is absorbed by earthworms and when ingested by moles makes them sick.

While you technically can, I've always been told that the tumbling action will kill them before they have a chance to do anything. This type of composer is best for rotting and not worm based. A standard compost pile would be better for worms.

I didn't have any luck with the works i bought from a bait shop. Its my understanding that they are usually night crawlers which aren't the ideal composting worms.

It will not only kill June bugs it will kill the box they came in. This is the best bug and worm killer I have ever used. To kill some bugs it takes a couple of hours but most just fall off and die before the water mixture has a chance to dry. I really don't know any bug it won't kill because I haven't found it yet. Cut worms were having a feast on my tomatoes and one spray and they were gone. Just let soak into the roil. I had beatles by the hundreds on my potatoes and I sprayed them and before I could get my stuff put up they were all on the ground and none haven't come back. Great stuff.

Yes, it will kill the smaller German cockroaches as well as others. The main ingredient in these tablets is boric acid which efficiently kills cockroaches and ants, etc. Very handy as they come in a hardened tablet form.

Hello! I assume so! They're green and brown! Super for making compost! I would think worms like to eat my greens and grass is just that. Shredded leaves and small cut up things are best! Please read "Worms Eat My Garbage". Happy Farming! Love. Peace. Gratitude. Kindness. Christina

The kind to use for composting are red wigglers, which is what many sports shops sell for bait, so that may be what you have. Red wigglers are what the Uncle Jim's worms are. Don't use regular earth worms for worm composting. They're not the same thing and won't work.

I have worms in my compost barrel but I never put worms in my K100 bucket since the food only stays in there 30 days then I transfer to my compost barrel and it really gets hot in there and worms do not like it too hot- will kill them but hey, I never tried it.

Yes, it kills all life cycles of invertebrates, including roaches. It may take up to two weeks for you to completely eliminate them as they are hardy but it will "get 'em."

I personally wouldn't know, (because I didn't see the eggs/larvae themselves) but if not on contact, it probably kills them within seconds or minutes at the most, probably. Either way, this product works!! I'm not a paid reviewer or someone affiliated with the company that makes this in any way, shape or form, but I stand by my reviews and opinions on this. If you're still wondering whether or not to get this product, I'd say go for it: It gets it done!!

Probably. It killed EVERY type of bug in my backyard 2 yrs ago, when I used it.

No, it will kill all but the very hardiest plant. Now, I do put it directly on some particularly nasty weeds in my yard. It will kill them, and then the grass eventually grows back.

Yes it will but you MUST put out a roach bait such as Dupont . It took around 1 week to get rid of them but I also kept my house treated for well over a year for good measure . It's been 4 years since I dealt with a infestation ...
