you got a picture of the worms in question, and are they actually worms, or are they larvae...
worms are good. most compost operations have extensive worm colonies, by design. many natural compost manufacturers do NOT sterilize their soils, since a healthy compost pile takes care of the weed seeds (the bad kind) and pathogens by itself.
if you have no camera, examine one closely under good light
it should look like this:
this is your Vermiform Garden Ally, and you should be glad of their presence and offer them homage in the form of kitchen scraps and coffee grounds weekly.
if it looks like this however....
It's time to break out the Sevin Dust (and not the shitty emo band, though that will drive most sensible crutters away from the area...)

If your soil has compost or worm castings in it, there were a few red worm cocoons in it. Each cocoon hatches a few little red wigglers.
