Red worms are basically used as bait in winter. Every time we finish fishing, we often find that the red worms we bought are not used up. How do we deal with the remaining red worms at this time?

It's very simple. We just need to wet a rag and wring out the remaining red worms on the bag, then find a container (any cup will do) to put them in, and then put them in the refrigerator. It must be in the refrigerator. It will be fine to keep it for ten days.

5. What should I do if there are red worms in the water?

If there are red worms in the well water, you need to find out the source first before dealing with it. The following are the treatment methods under different sources:

1. There are pollution sources (organic nutrients) around: sewage seepage from toilets, pig pens, kitchens and other facilities. Please change the well location and dig a well in a place without pollution around (away from toilets, pig pens, kitchens, graves, etc.). The water from the new well will not have these insects.

2. Water buckets and various utensils bring organic matter (rice water, rice soup, food debris and juice) into or wash sewage back into the well, which will breed insects.

Depending on the size of the well, a certain amount of quicklime or sodium chlorate (bleaching powder) can be put into the well to kill insects and bacteria, and the well can be cleaned the next day - drain the well water, dig out the silt, repair the well wall and add a well cover, and pay attention to water hygiene in the future (use special water buckets to draw water).

3. If it is a secondary water supply well for tap water, you must ask the water company to do it; if it is well water drawn at home, it is recommended not to drink it first. You must find out the cause of the insects. General insecticides or disinfectants are only for the well water at that time, and cannot guarantee that they will not appear again in the future. If you do the above three points, the well water will definitely be clean and there will be no small red worms.

If you want to get rid of these red worms, you can kill them with disinfectant (chlorine dioxide) or flush them away with water.

7. How to deal with frozen red worms?

Frozen bloodworms must be thawed. Do not feed frozen bloodworms to fish for the sake of convenience. Because there may be some impurities and bacteria in the frozen ice, which will threaten the health of fish. At the same time, the temperature of the ice will also affect the fish.

We can prepare a basin and fill it with tap water. Then put the frozen red worms in to thaw. Do not pour hot water, place the basin in the sun or other warm places, and let it thaw naturally.

After thawing, use a small scoop to remove impurities and foreign objects in the basin for initial filtration. Then use chopsticks to stir the water in the basin, use the vortex to clean the remaining impurities and foreign objects, and then use the scoop to remove them.

After cleaning, pour out the remaining water in the basin, leaving the red worms. Then use a straw to take out some water from the fish tank, pour it into the basin, and soak the red worms. Then wait for two to three hours before feeding.
