All the invading bugs and not one eats rotund governors, minuscule mayors, flabby senators...

There are currently no viable control measures for jumping worms.

Birds?

From a Biblical judgement view, I fully expect some earthly weird, biblical examples to start appearing....

[SamAdams76]

Jumping worms will be the death of us all.

Gasoline and a lighter

or propane and a torch

works on lots of pests in the yard.

[ConservativeMind]

Idiots are selling these across the US.

Their eggs survive Wisconsin winters.

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe they need to import some jumping frogs from Calaveras County, California.

“... white band called the clitellum ...”

Called a what? (Snick)

[twoputt]

Jumping Worms = Illinois Politicians.

[OrangeHoof]

Democrats are hurriedly trying to get all the worms registered to vote in time for 2022...

Jumping worms ( Amynthas spp.) are an invasive species native to eastern Asia.

ECO-TERRORISM?

[equaviator]

“Removing adult jumping worms to decrease the number of egg casings produced is the best control available at this time”

I dunno, I say kill ‘em all. What’s the big deal?

[antidemoncrat]

Two questions:
Is this a new problem and where did they originat?
Are they good for fishing?

Damage Jumping worms are voracious eaters, which causes them to grow twice as fast as other earthworms. This feeding changes the soil structure, altering the soil's water holding capacity and depletes the amount of nutrients available to plants. They also damage roots severely, causing weaker plants that are more susceptible to pests, drought, and disease.

Our original worms were just fine... now we have diversity of worms...

It’s my understanding that vinegar can kill them.

I have seen them on my property in NH and my plan when gardening is to have a squirt bottle with vinegar in it and squirt the little devils.

I read where a one to one mix with water is enough, but I’ll just go for broke and use the stuff straight.

“”These worms are known to change the soil structure, deplete available nutrients, damage plant roots, and alter water-holding capacity of the soil.”

When they reach California...they’ll become a protected species.

[Wizdum]

Probably make great fish bait.

My Dad grew up on a farm in Montana in the '30s and started driving to school at age 9 in a Model T truck. On the way other kids would hop on; causing an early version of a school bus.

I spent some summers on the farm, saw the hulk of the truck and the ruin of the one-room schoolhouse with a playground of one see-saw.

whoops, wrong thread!

[Sirius Lee]

Sure is a lot of sh*tty coming from Asia. Tree killing beetles, murder hornets, jumping worms, CCP spies...
