What's the easiest way to clean a mealworm bin? I hoping there is an easier way than picking them up one by one. lol.

I usually clean mine in between batches or when all the leftovers are now beetles. I just release the beetles in my yard, clean the bin, add gutload then mealworms.

I use a screen from a door... light mesh.. and pour some of the substrate over it... sift out the worms and dump them into a bin... I take the used substrate and put it in another drawer to get whatever eggs may be left over to hatch then do it all over again... Usually takes me about 3 weeks to get all the mealies I can out of a drawer and then fill with new substrate and add more beetles or mealies.
