When you mean worms, is that what we would call fruit fly? Sprays themselves don't normally have much of an effect on fruit fly and their maggot larvae which infest ripe fruit, you need to either bait them with a commericailly available pheremone solution, generally found in hardware stores or plant nurseries, or exclude adult flies from the ripening fruit before eggs are laid. One effective method is to tie organza bags over the green fruit, the type you would get at a wedding with sweets or cake in it. They exclude birds, possums, rats, flies and the like. There are lots of threads in this forum if you do a search on fruit fly, I imagine you would have similar products to us even though you are in the US. Organza bags can be bought in bulk very cheaply on eBay.

heheh - I guess she needs to start somewhere.. I don't have the problem remarkably enough, but had heard there were pheremones laced with poisons.. I just picked up an armful of feijoas from the ground, great sized fruit with no trace of fly, yet people in the same town as me have fruit crawling with maggots. I guess it is just a matter of time before they find me.
