Jennifer,

Well, I have my worms in a plastic opaque storage bin
that I drilled 1/4 inch holes in at the bottom and
sides. I keep a tray under them to catch the extra
liquid from the bins. They each have a lid so I
haven't had a lot of trouble with escaping worms.
Sure, occasionally I'll find one or two out of the bin
(usually dried up by the time I notice it) and when I
open the lid I'll often find some on the inside walls
just roaming around. Can you put a lid on your bins?
They won't care about the smell, but are you feeding
them enough? Or could the bin be a bit acidic. For
example, have you put in a lot of citric scraps or
something else that would make the bin high in acid.
They don't like that. It seems a shame to have to use
electrical energy in order to keep your worms in line.
