Don't put plastic bags, bottle caps, rubber bands, sponges, aluminum foil and glass in the bin. These materials will be there for ever and make your worm box/bin look like trash.
Don't let your cat use your worm box/bin as a litter box. First, cat urine will soon make the odor intolerable. Secondly, the ammonia in the urine could kill your worms. There is also a concern with toxoplasmosis, a disease that is of particular concern to a pregnant woman who may pass on the disease to her unborn child. If you have cats, provide a screen or other device to keep them from using the worm box/bin as a litter box.
Don't use insecticides around your worm box/bin. You will not only take care of a few pests but also your worms.
Don't use garden soil as bedding for the worms.
