1. What should I do if there are maggots in the earthworm pot?

(1) When maggots appear in the earthworm soil, you can usually remove them by changing the soil. However, you should avoid throwing rotten bananas and apples into the breeding box to prevent maggots.

(2) There are many reasons that can cause maggots to grow in the soil, such as the earthworms dying, the soil being too humid, uncomposted feces in the soil, flies laying eggs in the soil, etc.

2. How to remove flying insects in the soil where earthworms are raised?

First, it is recommended to sterilize and disinfect the soil before use, especially the soil dug from the wild. For example, the general soil prepared by Lixia, the raw materials itself have undergone professional sterilization and disinfection treatment, so it is not easy to attract insects and breed bacteria.

How to sterilize the soil? You can expose it to the sun for a few days, then stir or irrigate it with carbendazim. If you have a little white medicine, mix it in and it will be perfect. The pests (usually eggs) and bacteria in the soil will basically be gone.

Second, try not to use fertilizers that you have fermented yourself, unless they are grown outdoors or planted in the ground. These fertilizers themselves may emit a certain odor, and if they are not fully decomposed, they can easily cause seedling burn. The worst thing is that they can easily attract insects and breed bacteria.

Third, if these insects have already appeared in the pot, you can sprinkle tea dregs powder, quicklime, concentrated soapy water, concentrated chili water, tobacco water, etc. into the soil, all of which have a certain repelling effect.

3. How to prevent and control parasites in earthworm farming?

The main parasites in earthworm farming are tapeworms, nematodes, cluster worms and parasitic flies. The following measures are mainly taken for prevention and control: 1. Livestock and poultry manure must be fully decomposed and fermented, and high temperature must be used to kill parasite eggs and larvae in the manure.

4. What should I do if there are mites in the earthworm breeding box?

Take the earthworm box outside and expose it to light for 2 days and spray it with insecticide.

Generally, the eggs, larvae, nymphs and adult mites of mites will all die after 3 hours at a temperature of 55° or 60°.

5. What is the best way to kill insects with earthworms?

, earthworm-killing agent

Generally, you can use dichlorvos powder to kill earthworms. First, sprinkle the powder on the surface of the soil and mix it with the soil. Then water it and you will see the effect.

2. Other methods of eliminating earthworms

(1) Because earthworms are afraid of water, you can also soak the soil with water. Usually the earthworms will crawl out by themselves, and you can then catch them and deal with them yourself.

(2) Generally, you can use a 2000-fold dichlorvos solution to irrigate the roots to kill the earthworms or drive them out of the pots and eliminate them.

(3) Usually, earthworms can be removed in conjunction with repotting. A simple method is to turn over the pot and change the soil. You can also water the soil 2-3 times with garlic water, or water with diluted superphosphate to make the earthworms crawl out of the pot, and then you can catch and remove the earthworms.

6. What should I do if there are a lot of small earthworms when raising earthworms?

There are a lot of small insects, so you can try to buy some incense or potions that can drive away the insects.

7. What medicine is good for treating mites on earthworms?

400 times more pest and disease killer.

Summer is the peak season for the insect's activity, and its number decreases significantly after mid-September. The main harm is that it chews the substrate, reduces the amount of pores, eats microorganisms, and prevents earthworms from moving to the surface, which seriously reduces the egg-laying rate and the survival rate of young earthworms. For prevention and control, spray the surface of the breeding pond with 400 times the amount of pest and disease net. It should be sprayed before the earthworms crawl to the surface, and the speed should be fast, with only a small amount swept through, otherwise it will be harmful to the earthworms. Secondly, the pond can be immersed in water to let the adults float up and be removed. You can also hang a light on the edge of the pond, and put a small stove under the light. The adults will fly towards the light and be smoked by the hot air from the stove and fall into the fire and die.

8. What insecticide is used in earthworm beds?

If there are mole crickets in the earthworm bed, you cannot use the insecticide, as it will kill the earthworms. The key is to keep the environment clean. This is usually caused by insufficient decomposition of cow dung, which means that the cow dung for the earthworms to eat must be fully decomposed, otherwise it will be a hidden danger from the beginning.

When mole crickets are born, you can fry bran or millet in a pan until fragrant, let it cool to room temperature, mix it with methyl parathion or dichlorvos, etc., and place it next to the earthworm bed, never in the earthworm bed.
