My wife being a keen golfer was out doing her best tonight to improve her game.
Sorry Rose ...

A friend she was golfing with spotted one of these flat worms on the course and instantly killed it . She knew they were trouble to our local worms.

We are based in central Scotland , how worried should we be with these invaders ?

Thanks
Gordon

  • They were in the news about 10 years or so back as causing a huge problem - but they seemed not to get much worse to my understanding - I recall a radio show about them when I was at Uni (9 years back now) saying they seemed to struggle in the cold, and so were not colonising arable farmland well as its turned over often - and they are exposed in winter so they were expected to be an urban problem, and a grassland problam more than anything. anyone got anything more uptodate?

  • yeah as david says, 10 or 20 years ago they were decimating the native worms and would eventually take over the world. today you don't hear much about them

  • Thanks for your input.
    All i can remember is that they kill our native worms.
    As you say, the cold winters might be to our advantage.
