Getting Rid Of Detritus Worms?

I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium that is still cycling and has no fish in it except two snails. Just recently, I've noticed about 10+ extremely small worms on my glass. I guess from my plants.. They don't really gross me out, I just don't want them to overpopulatelike they did before in my other aquariums. How do I get rid of them?

Once you add fish you will not see them anymore.

I

I'm only stocking the tank with bettas... I'm doing a divided betta tank and bettas don't eat detritus worms.
First time I hear this. There are stories all over of bettas eating detritus worms, just google it.
When I had a betta, he was feasting on those as well.

In my personal experience I guess. I had tanks overpopulated with detritus worms and I never saw my bettas eat them.

Yeah, some fish have quite some food preferences
If they don't eat them, you could use a dewormer but this is pretty harsh on the tank.
Detritus worms are beneficial, if they overpopulate something is wrong ( too much food, not enough O2 etc)
