New Question about 52 degree basement

18 years ago

I have a nasty fruit fly problem in the worm bin. If it weren't for the fly problem I would bring my bin upstairs where the worms could thrive in the heat.

I was thinking that I could bring the bin upstairs for the week or so between feedings where they could benefit from the warmth and become more active. When it's time to feed I bring them down to basement where I lift the cover and kill the flies that have accumulated under it and let others fly off into 52 degree basement and whither away.

My question is would bringing the bin up and down like that be a shock on their systems going from warmth to instant cold on a weekly basis? Would it be better to just leave them in the baseemnt where they have a continuous cool tempurature that is really not that bad at 52 degreees? Thanks in advance for the help.
