A customer sent a SMS (text) telling that there are termites in his worm bin. He was concerned that termites might harm the earthworms and asked for advice on how to get rid of termites.
I haven't had any experience on this so I had to do some research on it.
Termites are attracted to materials with high cellulose content like cardboard paper. They don't harm worms but they compete in consuming the substrate.
A quick way to deal with the termites is to find the queen and kill it. Or you can gently mix the substrate while watering to reach 90% moisture level. Mixing the substrate destroys the nest of the termites.
I hope this works.
