Yes. Mealworms are non-toxic, and our mealworm frass is 100% natural, and chemical free.

Unlike some other animal-based fertilisers, mealworm frass is virtually odourless, doesn’t need composting, and won’t burn plant roots.

Unlike mealworms, worms have no exoskeleton, which means their frass lacks the chitin that is so powerful in promoting plant pest-immunity and resistance.

The mealworm exoskeletons contained in the frass effectively “trick” your plants into thinking they’re being attacked by insects. The chitin in the exoskeletons trigger a hormonal response in your plants to defend themselves. This means that if pests, parasites and diseases come along to feed on your plants, those plants will have their defences ready.

Right here, on Australia’s largest insect farm! Our family has been raising and supplying feeder insects like mealworms for animal owners around the country for over 35 years. Mealworm frass is a totally natural zero-waste byproduct of mealworm farming that we’re able to sustainably recycle into nutritious plant fertiliser.
