You can make an electrical current that will drive them up out of the lawn too. Take a cheap extension cord, like the one for christmas lights, and cut the female end off the cord. Split the two sides of the wire about 3 feet up, and shave off the plastic/rubber coating from the copper wires inside. Tape the copper wire to the metal hangers with electrical tape. Then you stick the wire hangers in the ground, spacing them abut 3 feet from each other. Go plug the electric cord in the wall. Wait for 5 minutes, unplug the contraption, and go pick the worms up!
I am not sure if you would get zapped walking around the wire hangers while the current is running, but I wouldn't tempt fate. Also, if you put the hangers too close together it kills the worms once they come out of the ground.
This does not kill you lawn either.
