Nicole,
I have never tried it on earthworms, but I did have a lot of success with a
few drops of clove oil in seawater for anesthetsizing polychaetes. I am not
sure how you would administer it to terrestrial earth worms - perhaps a few
drops in whatever medium you keep them in? Polychaetes (polynoid
scaleworms) anesthetisized in this way remained alive for several hours, and
the effect of the clove oil was almost immediate
