How Do You Rid Your Yard Of Worms (Parasites)
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get rid of and kill off Parasite Worms in your yard? As in Hookworms, Tapeworms, roundworms, whipworms, ect.
I have a Large back yard with one entire stretch of dirt/sand, and one greater-area of grass and dirt ( though it is mostly dirt now because the grass has kind of died out) and some large river rocks along the back fence wall where my dog poops (thankfully she likes to poop all the way in the back of the yard, as I have 3 younge children!)
I dont want my dog to be infected/reinfected. And I'm scared to let my babies out back!
We've already treated my dog, But Does anyone know HOW or If I can treat the Yard?
THANKS!

My dog is having ongoing issues with severe diarrhea. My vet has treated her with multiple meds to no avail. I try to clean her poop regularly but when it’s completely liquid it’s impossible to scoop it up. Any tips to treat the yard?

I forgot to mention she is on heartworm/flea prevention that is also supposed to prevent worms. Besides the prescription dewormers we have also tried feeding her food grade DE
NEVER use pool type DE for animals or humans! It's a different formula that is very dangerous and can cause serious damage to the lungs and airways. It can send you to the hospital!
That said, food grade DE is great. I use it all the time. You can usually find large bags at animal feed stores (like Tractor Supply) for cheaper than the pool version. Again,
pool DE=serious damage and danger!
food/animal DE= great! highly recommend!

Another thing that helps in areas that you can't use chemical treatments is DE - diatomaceous earth. It's ground up fossils called diatoms. DE is a white powder, and available cheaply and in large quantities at any swimming pool supply store. It won't harm you, but if any larvae (like flea larvae) crawl across that powder, it will get shredded to bits and killed. You can find DE in pet stores for use in the home against fleas but it's WAY cheaper to get a big box at the pool store. Of course, it only lasts until you vacuum again. I'm not wild about using it in large outdoor areas because you kill off beneficial critters and have to reapply so often. That's why most people opt for treating the dogs rather than the environment.
Don't forget that you can also help by keeping a strict Poo Patrol schedule. If your dogs are still carrying eggs, you have to get rid of their poo, so get those baggies ready!
