Question
We are getting earth worms coming in our windows and sliding glass door. The screens are tight but they are still coming yes it is often after rain  INX5HZT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY SINCE THEY ARE IN THE BED ROOM hELP

Answer
Take them fishing.
Just kidding, I am only guessing on this, there are two things I can think of. One they don't like to go across dry areas, you might place a heat lamp next to the door and that will dry the area out and keep it too hot to cross. The other sprinkle some salt few inches wide, this will absorb moisture from them and might turn them back. I would place this on plastic to make sure the salt stays dry. You might also place tape at the bottom of the screen between the screen and windows.
I hope one of these work for you.
