Worm rooters

     Hello Annelida Group.  
     
     I heard of a device which is used to make earthworms come up to the 
     surface that relies on electrical currents or vibrations.  Does anyone 
     have any information about these "worm rooters" and where I might be 
     able to find one?
     
     I work on terrestrial salamanders and am interested in trying out 
     techniques which allow us to determine actual population size of 
     salamanders in a given area.  We use capture-recapture techniques as 
     well, but recapture rates are often low, making population estimates 
     difficult.
     
     Thank you very much for your help.  I appreciate any information you 
     can send me about "worm rooters."
     
     Sincerely,
