Are you sure its a flat worm......The flat worm is a highly competitive alien species being accidentially introduced into ecosystems with no predators to control their number. If you want to read more check this out as im too lazy to type.

I've had the damn things in the garden for years. I no longer have earthworms bigger than about three cms but these are reasonably plentiful. I kill flatworms whenever I see them and squash their eggs - feeding the garden with plenty of garden compost seem to be effective in keeping the earthworms going.
The person who develops an effective countermeasure for these horrors will have my eternal gratitude. If he/she discovers something that will devour or paraticise wireworms too, I will dedicate the rest of my life to singing their praises! |
