How do I kill roundworm larvae in the garden?

My dogs are undergoing deworming now but I am concerned that the eggs can last for years in the garden--and thus they will be reinfected. Is there any way to kill the eggs in the garden? Many thanks for your thoughts here!

How do I kill roundworm larvae in the garden?
Diatomaceous earth. You can get it at the garden store or online. It's little shells from creatures that stays on the ground and the worms, snails, bugs, and crawly things cut themselves to pieces trying to crawl over it. You just spread it on the garden soil (after you clean up the poo)! It works GREAT!!
Reply:To prevent your dog from reinfecting himself with roundworms clean up his stool as soon as you can from the yard. And if you have your dog on heartworm prevention, it should also help prevent intestinal parasites, such as roundworms. Check with your vet on what kind of heartworm prevention he is on, and ask if it prevents intestinal parasites.


My dog is on heartgard which prevents hearworm disease, And roundworms and hookworms.
