Joanna - those critters are in the fly family, right? Bti should work on them. Make sure the dunks you buy do contain Bti - there is another type out there that doesn't contain Bti. I would make a solution from crumbled up dunks, strain it and put it in a sprayer. Spray the surface of your worm compost. Maybe open it up first and let the worms go hide out from the light before spraying just to make sure. I did read about using Bti for critter problems in the worm bins. You may have to spray a couple of times since the Bti works by inhibiting live offspring, NOT by outright killing off the mature flies.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
