An invasive worm species from Asia is currently terrorizing gardens and yards across the American Midwest.
The invasive jumping worm can thrive in all types of soil and are making a home for themselves in the fertile land between the two coasts. These worms do not have any natural predators in the United States, so they are free to breed and increase their population, again and again, all while leaving nothing but destruction everywhere they go.
When these worms consume their meals, they leave the soil depleted and in a bad state. After the Asian jumping worms make their way through a specific part of the ground, the soil becomes altered to the point that it no longer can retain moisture like it once did. Not only does it have the moisture depleted, but the soil also gets stripped of many nutrients and can be made vulnerable to erosion.
