My dogs have whipworms and some of the information I have found on the internet suggest using Sevin Dust to get rid of them in the yard as they are extremely tough to eradicate.
Sevin Dust does not specifically label whipworms for eradication. Unfortunately, there are no products on the market to kill or control whipworm eggs in the soil. Here are a few options for you: 1. Remove the first 4"-6" of soil from the entire area the dog uses and replace with new soil and reseed with grass. 2. Keep the dog on Interceptor Heartworm preventative which also keeps whipworm eggs from developing into parasites in the dog. 3. Keep the dog away from the infested area for at least 5 years and always pick up feces every couple of days from the new area to stop the new area from becoming infested.
