pets are dewormed now I am looking for something safe and effective to get rid of possible eggs and larvae from the house. I am terrified of contamination!

You don't need to be concerned with any eggs in your house. They won't survive if you simply practice proper hygenie and vacumn your house thoroughly. There will be no contamination.

Bleach is an effective disinfectant, and once dry, it is completely safe.
Steam clean your carpets as well, if your that worried.
The unfortunate thing is, most of the eggs are probably going to be picked up outside, so unless you only let your dogs go on concrete or rock, and disinfect daily, your dogs will pick up worms again.
Monthly wormers are very important, heartguard is a great one that covers just about everything.

About 1/2 way down it speaks of heartguard, and then goes on to prevention and treating the environtment.

I work at a vet office,I agree with the last one interceptor and heartgaurd will do a monthly cover as long as the dogs are up to date on heart worm tests. If you keep the dogs on prevention you don't have to worry about the eggs. Good luck

Don't listen to the idiot who cholorx or acid. If you are using it where the dogs are going to be, acid could cause skin irritation.
