Additional best practices to follow provided by the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association:  

• Be careful when sharing and moving plants—know where they came from and look for jumping worms. 
• Do not store mulch on the ground or purchase mulch in bags with holes. Look for a supplier that heat treats compost to 131 degrees F for at least three days.
• Don’t buy or use jumping worms for composting or bait.
• Dispose of worms in the trash, not in your compost or yard waste site.
