worms in my houseplants


Question
Hello,
I have a rubber tree plant, and I notice today, while takeing care of it, and notice I have little gray worms on the top of my plant, what can I do to get rid of them?
Thank you
Kristy

Answer
Without a picture of the worms it is hard to determine what they are...They could be grubs, maggots or other larval forms of insects or other Arthropods...Take the plant outside and hose off the critters (on the top and bottom surfaces)...I would also recommend following up with spraying of insecticidal soap if they return...
Get to a local garden center/nursery and quiz them on a solution to your problem. Take a sample of the worms in a sealed plastic bag for someone there to ID...Buy your products from them and they should be more than happy to help you solve your problem.
good luck.
