Howdy. You don't need to worry about introducing a new exotic species if you're getting Eisenia fetida (red wigglers). They're already found pretty much everywhere in North America. I was a bit concerned about that, too, when I first got red wigglers about 5 years ago. (My background is conservation biology, so I think about these kind of things.)
Now here's something interesting: There are actually few if any "native" earthworms in much of Canada and the Northern US. Sitting under ice for thousands of years during ice ages isn't particularly good for worms. Many of the worms in those areas are European imports.
