Hmm, well need to see a picture of these chubby worm like creatures - they could be anything from chafer grub to leatherjacket to vine weevil. If they're vine weevil or chafer grub in spent potting compost, this should not be reused for potting, and any containers you've emptied of it should be washed and sterilised and filled with new, clean potting compost.
