I removed 2.5 lbs of extremely large nightcrawlers in 5 evenings. The lawn was actually unsafe to walk on, due to the mud cones they were leaving. I bared the nuetral and the black wire, and attached a metal rod to each end. The rods are stuck in the ground to about 6 inches in depth, and the other end is plugged into a 110 volt receptical (not a ground fault). In a matter of a minute or so, all worms in a three foot circle around the neutral rod climb out on top of the grass. This does not kill the worms, and has made a lot of neighbourhood fishermen very happy. greg I had a huge number of night crawlers in my lawn, 12 feet X 20 feet.
