Default Getting Bugs out of Worm Bin

You know, if you're not having the bin in your house, leave the bugs in
there. They're great at helping decompose the compost, and the worms don't
mind them at all.

Pill bugs, something the size of a grub worm that look gross, the
usual...and yeah I can't tell that the worms mind at all.

Without starting all over again (ugh) is there some way to get the
bugs and ants OUT of my worm bin?

I left it next to the garage while I got moved into a new house

and
now it has more bugs in it than worms!

I was wondering if there was something (like Garlic Powder) that I
could sprinkle that the bugs wouldn't like but wouldn't bother the
worms.

Thanks!

did you try turning up the soil? the ants and other bugs will

probably
not like it when you mess with their home and screw up all their

phermone
trails, while I can't see a reason why the worms would care.
Additionally, if you accidently cut a worm in half, supposedly you

will
just get two worms or maybe just a short one. but what kind of

other
bugs?
