Really Jensownzoo? Poop isn't the problem here and "spotter" seems to be looking for science based information as am I. Transmission of parasites and disease from meal worms in commercial feeds is avoided by the graneries through "best practices" because of the risks to the hens, then we grow and add mealworms deliberately for a protein source. Wild and crazy contaminated meal worms are everywhere and could easily contaminate home mealworm colonies through multiple avenues. I grow my colonies in wheat bran which could have been easily contaminated by "wild" meal worms while in storage.
