Bugs!

13 years ago

Ack -- hadn't checked the worm bin in a few days (have gotten better about not micro-managing them, and they were doing so well!) All of a sudden there's a ton of these bugs swarming around in it!

Not sure what they are - they're faster and bigger than gnats, but not fruit flies.. They have a narrow body and almost look like termites...

They're extremely pesky when you open the lid as they fly around and get in your face, and the worms seem to not be as happy as they were before these guys showed up (a lot more hanging out on the sides of my bin, whereas before I had none)

Any thoughts on what these are and how I can get rid of them? I tried leaving the bin open on the drive way for a while, and I think it reduced them some, but they're still in there and there's probably ~100.

Any suggestions appreciated!
