I hate you New Zealand!

So you have great sceanary, friendly people with a shared cultural herritage, a great rugby strip, a cool war dance and sheep

But why oh why did you send me your nasty flat worms to eat all my earth worms?!?!?! WHY!



I am infested! (thanks to a local garden center :[)

So far I have controlled them by laying black polythene down and lifting it periodically for the hens, or collect by hand, dry and then feed to the hens (slow)

Any other ideas or tricks for thier erradication?

Thanks

Ground and Rove beetles are good predators of these things.

I'm glad to hear it. Any tips on encouraging these.

I like the Devils coach horse, must be the most agressive prdatory insect

Apparrently the Rove beetle's favourite dish is an earthworm too! There's a bit of stuff on the net about encouraging them Don't think they eat worms as fast as the other fellas.

They look disgusting from your photo. I'm glad I've never seen any here in Brittany or when I was in Cornwall.
