I found that BT can be used for that problem but I do not know the proper mix for use in houseplant application. My BT container is older and does not have the info on it. How should it be mixed and applied.

Neem oil will also help take care of these pests. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
How can I quickly and successfully get rid of them? I have these tiny bugs and some white worms too.
You have fungus gnats. They are a true pest. This article discusses them: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/children/fungus-gnats.htm One thing I've learned over the years is that they ♥ wet soil. If you tend to keep your plants on the really moist side, lighten up some on watering. We have the most problem with fg's in the spring with seedlings, and it can be tricky, but by keeping the soil on the dry side of evenly moist usually works best for us.
I have little tiny bugs (what I think are ants) at the bottom of my houseplants. They come out when I water the plants and they are so small that you feel them crawling on your skin before you see them. They are always down at the bottom of the flower pot. Are these ants that I am experiencing? What do I do to get rid of them? I need an effective treatment before my husband throws me and the plants outside!
There are several things they could be, from mites to aphids to other small pests. You can get rid of them by treating your soil with a pesticide or by replacing the soil in the pot.
My leaves of indoor plant are browning and I think there is webbing on the leaves like the spider webs. The leaves of the plant are falling down. What do you think it is? How should I treat and for how long? We even replace the soil but it is still there.
Generally, browning of leaves is a stress-related issue. This article should help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/what-causes-brown-edges-on-leaves-of-plant.htm The webbing may be an indication of spider mites, which can be treated with neem oil.

I replanted a spike I purchased into a larger pot. After a day or so I noticed it looked as though something was infesting the stem. I sprayed it with sevin, a bug killer, but it did not seem to recover and the leaves stayed limp and began to rot off.
Red spike can refer to several different plants, so I don't know what you actually have. However, there are a couple of things. First, when you buy a plant, it should not be infested with anything - if you find something wrong with it within a few days of purchase, you should return it to the store for a full refund. In fact, any reputable plant store should guarantee their product for a year.
Another couple of things I'd like to tell you about - one is that you shouldn't repot plants as soon as you buy them - give them at least 6 months to adjust to a new environment; second, please don't use any kind of 'cide unless you know exactly what you are treating for.
Good luck and happy gardening.
My daughter has an office plant with a sticky white foam attached to the leaves. I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere.
Sounds like a spittle bug problem, though it's usually more watery than sticky. They also do little damage to plants and can normally be hosed off. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/spittlebug-control.htm
The stickiness could also be honeydew from another pest - aphids, mealybugs, etc. - in which case neem oil can help, as these pests will quickly reduce the health of the plant. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
I would recommend hosing the plant down well and then treating it with neem oil.
I live in Atoka, OK. I have a plant pest. There are strange nodule looking things on my plant. I can send pictures.
I will guess that these are scale insects, but please send pictures. You can use this address https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ask-a-question/
