INITIALLY POSTED TO WRONG FORUM

Hello all, I'm new to the forum after searching for answers to my situation. I just started a vermiculture and have my worms in very small container (food contain with lid). I eventually want to have them produce and continue to grow from my small batch.

However, my within a week of me starting my worm bin I discovered gnats have layed eggs and I now have maggots in my container.  Is this safe for my worms, do I need to consider removing them and starting a new container? If I am able to leave them in would there be any issues with them mass producing again?

I also a video of my current situation [youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTogncx1liQ&t[/youtube]
