They are not affected by flooring. My advice is get to the ruins as soon as you have a reliable light source, provisions, and defense just in case you encounter stuff you can't avoid. Strip as much of it as you can since you'll have 10 days between worm spawns and when they do spawn there'll only be 2. Hopefully you'll have the entire place stripped of resources before the worms ramp up. After that point you only need to return to craft items at pseudoscience stations.

Tooth traps are not good against them, but rock lobsters are nice yes.
