Unfortunately, there is not a product on the market that is labeled or recommended for hookworms so we cannot recommend using Wondercide Outdoor Pest Control - Lawn and Landscape to treat them. While some insecticides that are labeled for turf or lawn infesting insects may work, there has not been enough research to add hookworms to the product labels and none would kill the eggs. We recommend that all animals are moved out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year (during warm spring/summer months, longer during cool winter/fall months) and all feces be removed. Keeping the animals out of the contaminated area for at least 1 year should help control the infestation pattern. It is also important to remove feces from the new latrine area to avoid another infestation. Another option is to remove the contaminated soil and replace if you cannot keep animals out for 1 year.
