Cat had roundworms. How to clean litter box & home after deworming?

Hookworms are commonly spread by fecal/oral route. Clean the litter box daily and wash your hands afterwards to minimize contamination. it is best to wash bedding and clean the floors just to be safe.

1. The only concern for human beings is the transmission of certain tapeworms. These are transmitted by fleas and incidental ingestion of the flea can cause infection. I would not be worried about roundworm, but fleas need to be treated as well as gastrointestinal worms. Normal hygiene precautions must be followed though (wash your hands). 2. You can pet him without problems. 3. Eggs can be present of course and usually bleach is enough to disinfect the area appropriately.

Hi. Poor little one! The best way.to disinfect is to always wash hands, clean surefaces with a dilute bleach solution, clean or get new litter box, wash any bedding, place sheet over furniturr for now to wash later, and pick up feces right away and wash hands. Once treatment is all done, repeat and recheck fecal sample for testing

Just was the sheets and blankets, as well as Kola's toys and bed. You do not need to throw them away. Vacuum the floors and carpets as well as the couches. Use gloves to pick up his poop, and throw it away in a plastic bag in the trash can outside. Just practice good hygiene and everything will be fine.

Steam cleaning and shampooing the areas of the carpet that were in contact with any feces will help get rid of any eggs. You should disinfect any hard surfaces with a disinfectant cleaner. You can also disinfect the litter pan and all food/water bowls.

You should clear the litter tray as soon as possible after use and dispose or flush the feces to ensure he is not reinfested. It is the feces which is infectious so his a limited risk to you whilst letting him

This is really not necessary for you to do. The way cats get tapeworms is by eating fleas infected with the tapeworm larvae. They will not get tapeworms by ingesting the segments you see in the feces. So, that being the case, you should be more concerned with treating the environment to get rid of the fleas/flea eggs, etc. and by treating the cat with flea medication (either topical or oral) every month. If you have a yard and cat goes outside you should treat the yard as well. If a cat has tapeworms they definitely have fleas. Disinfecting the house with bleach is not helpful in preventing transmission of tapeworms (you cannot get the either) but if it makes you feel better by cleaning the house with bleach you can certainly do that - I would use a 10:1 dilution of water to bleach (10 parts water to 1 part bleach). Hope this helps.
