Pick them off & mash them with your shoe & spray them with malathion, you can get it from Lowe's or garden center. It's good to keep almost all insects out of a veggie garden & flowers, good luck.

The white worm you are talking about are called Grubs. I'm not sure how to get rid of them, but at least now you have the name to start researching.

We seem to have a worm that has decided it likes our tomatoes. What can I use to get rid of it? It's eating too many! I can't do anything poisonous because I have dogs in my yard. Help please.
