1. Worms are good for fishing
2. Interfering with ecosystems is a bad idea, any bugs you kill might've been the ones eating the other bugs that eat your plants.
3. worms are actually really good for your plants
4. No they arn't harmful to your plants and theres really nothing you can do but spray some pesticide...but that really wont help
5. This is normal. There are supposed to be crawly things living under rocks. They won't do any harm.
6. ants are alright and worms would be great for your flowers they will make the soil fertile and good for the flowers. trust me that sounds like a perfect spot for the flowers. ants like food not flowers. and worms poop dirt.
7. yes, probably but everybody gets those little bugs. its natural habitat, your plants will be fine though, don't kill them or it will harm the environment! the worms help the plants grow because it helps fertilize the soil. and the ants make passageways.
8. VINAGER! will not harm your plants, but make the ants go away and other bugs. just throw a little vinegar under each rock and watch them go away. rettta
9. bleach, or soapy water should kill them without harming your plants
10. Seriously, what do you expect to find outside under a rock? It is called nature.
11. the ants are fine, but the worms may not be. If the worms are fat, soft, white, have six tiny feet, and smallish orange or black heads, kill them now. Squish them with your foot. They grow up to be japanese beetles, which eat your plants. I have a grudge against japanese beetles.
