Hey Dawn,
I used to have the same problem and here is what do now and so far (8 months) it has worked. I filled a rubbermaid container halfway with dirt from where I collected the worms. I only lightly moistend the dirt, just enough to where it sticks to your fingers. I then covered the dirt with newspaper and then I put a piece of cardboard on top of that. I am sure you are doing all of this already but I figured I might as well state it anyways. Now here is where it seems to make the difference, instead of putting my worms back in the basement, I put them in the living room, (well it used to be the living room but now it's my reptile and amphibian room). I also feed the worms egg shells, coffee grounds and filter, carrot peelings, and kale. Well this is just what I do so you might want to give it a try but I can't promise you it will work for you though but it's worth a shot I suppose.
Later,
Justin
