H E L P: My Composter is Full of Larvae!!!
H E L P ! ! !
When I opened the hatch on my above-ground compost tumbler the entire bottom of the thing was squirming and writhing with what I first took to be worms. But on closer inspection I believe that these are mostly some kind of an insect larvae-- possibly cockroaches-- and there are thousands of them. I really don't want the composter to become the breeding ground for a pest infestation. Is there anything I can do to kill the buggars without ruining the compost? I've used mostly vegetable scraps, rotten fruit and coffee grounds in this batch... The composter is in the shade all of the time. Do you think that placing it in the sun (It is made of black polypropylene) would cook them? Thank you, --Max |
