Ziv,

Put your mixture on a big TLC plate and run it in a polar system. Dry it down at room temperature not to degrade the attractant and let the worms to crawl to the plate. Carefully check with a pencil the area that the worms crowded, cut the band and isolate the attractant.

I do it all the time with my mosquitoes. Always works!
