My house plants are infested with tiny, thread thin, white worms. It is so gross! How do I ged rid of them???

All of my house plants have tiny little gnats, or some kind of small flying thing, and then I just noticed these worms in the dirt!! (I assume its the larva stage of the flys?) I got some bug killer that is taking care of the fly stage, but it wont kill the worms!

Use Earth-Tone or something similar - you need to make sure that the bug spray you get is safe for plants. Some bug spray is so strong that it will kill small houseplants. Earth Tone is good because it doesn't smell bad, it kills all stages of the insect, etc. You can get it at Walmart or a nursery.
Reply:julia it's a simple and quick solution to those buggies,

make a soapy-wash and spray on the plants leave it on for a couple of day's spraying ,and letting dry .when you see no more activity then rinse the plants ,fertilize and water well !

to make the suds use a tablespoon of dry detergent to 1-gallon of water (do all this outside in a mild-sunny area where the plants can air fairly quick......GOOD LUCK !
Reply:Mix like 2 cups water with 1 heaping tbsp of Epsom Salt. I will fertilizer plant and kill bugs because they won't be able to eat fertilizer in leaves. It is also make a flowering plant..flower more. It's like a energy boost w/phosphate stuff in it.
Reply:Go to the store and find the spray that says Weed Killer, weed has similar properties as the weeds so it WILL kill them!
