Invasive Jumping Worms
Jumping worms, native to eastern Asia, are a group of invasive earthworms known for their snake-like movement. They live and feed in the top few inches of soil and can kill plants and dramatically damage soil quality and nutrient content. For this reason, jumping worms can trigger erosion, threaten plant growth and decrease soil community biodiversity.
Jumping worms have made their way across North America through composting, the fishing bait trade and by movement of potted plants and mulch. They have been found in southeast Minnesota including Freeborn, Fillmore, Olmsted and Dodge Counties.
They are identified by their snake-like movement and light colored ring.

THINK BEFORE YOU FLUSH! Whether you're on a private septic system or municipal system, "flushable" wipes are NOT flushable and should not be flushed down your toilet. This can damage your system and be irreparable.
Antibacterial soaps can also affect your septic system, if over-used they can harm or kill your septic system. For more information on maintaining your septic system, see the "Links" page.
