You only get those worms as a result of overfeeding and leftover food on the gravel. I would suggest that if they are in the betta tank, you are feeding him too much and not vacuuming enough.
You should vacuum the gravel very well if you want them gone faster, and then make sure you are not feeding too much and keep up regular gravel cleaning.
I feed him a few pellets once a day with 1 fast day per week. The problem comes from a huge mutant mystery snail that craps all over the place. I regret the day I bought that guy.
I have them in mine and I suspect they came from some rocks and plants I bought, like a fool, from tanks packed with platies at Petco. I never had them til a week after that! I siphon regularly and am hard-pressed to find any gunk, so I don't think I'm overfeeding. They are lessening over time.
My betta will occasionally eat one, if it's happening to swim/float aimlessly by. But generally, my mollies and their fry prefer them. They eat them UP.
