   Not that I have heard of in my area. Since Arena came out we haven't had an earthworm problem after treating that area for grubs. I use the earthworms as my indicator for my need to reapply for the grubs.

   Troy,
   
   We have used Early Bird with good results, Target Specialty Products carries it in our area. It took us about seven days to see results and still had a few in the wettest areas, I estimate about 90% control. There are no chem products labeled for worms in our area. The organic fert is a nice way to go for us, along with controlling the moisture. Good luck!

   Troy,
   
   Early Bird does produce good results. If your earthworms do get out of control before you see results I have always used and had very good results with Sevin SL Carbaryl Insecticide by Bayer. I have found it to be a very solid chem spray product for earth worms.
