Unwanted pests in the worm bin.

I have a City of Scottsdale Compost bin which is in the shade under my trees to keep it cool enough for the red worms I have in there eating my kitchen and yard waste.  Trouble is I have created the perfect incubator for other undesirables.  What is the best way to get rid of roaches and not compromise the compost?

  • Something else you might try is to blend your food. All my compost for a 3 day period goes into a "Ninja". Then I pour it into my worm farms. I stay away from grass clippings and Oleanders. I find yard debris brings a lot of critters with it.

  • Boric acid powder works well on roaches.  Try putting some around the base of the bin.
