What are they, where do they come from and how do I get rid of them? Please help!

Also there is a plant in the kitchen and one in the living room, but neither of them have any worms on them.

Answer 1

Well those are maggots, or fly larvae. You may have a dead animal in your walls or above your ceiling. Sniff around for the scent of something dead. If it is very warm where you are, it will decompose very quickly, often without a noticeable scent. Had this same thing in a building at my work. Soon after, ended up with hundreds of flies in that building. Best to find and dispose of before they can become flies.

Answer 2

Those are maggots. You must have something dead in your walls or ceiling, like birds, mice, or maybe even a racoon or opossum. These animals like to make nests in peoples homes sometimes and perhaps you've had this happen and it died for whatever reason.
