I built a box just like the ones in the videos. I bought a few Africans until my oder arrives. The problem is that the worms get out. One or two a few days ago. Really wasn't a problem until my wife found one, under her bare foot. Now she want's them out of the utility room. Is there a way to make SURE they don't get out? I have feed the box. I would like to keep them in the house for the cooler temp. Thanks guys.
One sure fire way is to leave a light on -- a small reading lamp with a CF bulb won't eat up too much electricity. Most new bins will have "runners". As your bin cycles your worms will begin to stay put.
