Help! Earthworms coming under front door.

Posted 5th Nov 2023 (Posted 8 h, 26 m ago)

The last few weeks we have started getting earth worms coming under the door in the wet weather, the door is a newish door so no plans to change it. Is there a product I can buy to block entry route off? Picture of where they are getting in attached. So far I can only see draft excluder type products that go around the sides of the door

I’d close the door mate to be honest, that would help the most.

On a serious note, if they are coming in between the door and the frame then it hasn’t been built/fitted correctly as never in all the years of me owning doors has anything ever got in between door and frame. If they are coming in under the frame then there are greater issues at play here and the door might have to be removed and the cill/base be sorted out.

New door. There should be no gaps, get them back to fix it.

Sounds like the start of a Stephen King movie

Try copper tape, we use it on our step to deter slugs so hopefully it will work for worms.

Could be earthworm Jim? He's pretty strong.
