Worm Eggs

[ally mac]

Ive just wormed the doos and was surprised to see what looks like round worms in some of their droppings. Whats the best thing for killing the eggs in loft? will Virkon S do it?

I'd use a blow torch ally gets into all the corners and cracks in the timber

good advice from Pat ...but also worm them again in 3 weeks as its a 3 week cycle from egg to worm

I have some worming tablets that says re do them 11 days later

When I was breeding the dogs, the pups were wormed every 2 weeks from 4 weeks of age until 12 weeks, then every 2 month until 7 months. At first, I used to see a lot of worms, but with subsequent bitches, I never noticed any.

Thanks chaps, will dig out the burner. Doing them again in 3 weeks, i got moxidectin of internet and its not expensive to use.

although over use can cost you long term Ally ? heads up

[just ask me]

a worm dose should always be done twice due to the life cycle

 

depending on the severity or the type of worm a third dose may even be needed

[MIK]

round worm eggs can live up to 6 months in loft with poor hygiene or deep litter ....but in order to stop them laying again ...its best to do them 3 weeks later...in a bad infestation as jam said maybe a 3rd dose is needed

or a dose for every 3 weeks for 6 months will eradicate..providing no new introductions

 

late comers from racers or other lofts will re-infect ....a priority to worm twice in 3 weeks imo every year
