Whipworms eggs are somewhat susceptible to drying, but can remain alive in moist soil for years and are resistant to freezing. Because of this, animals should be restricted from contaminated areas. There is no effecive method for killing whipworm eggs in the soil. The only alternative is to replace the soil with new soil, gravel and pavement. To prevent exposure, any feces in the yard should be picked up on a daily basis. Routine fecal examinations and wormings can help control this parasite.

If it were me, I'd just give a heartworm med that also does whipworms, and use it year round.

Look into Advantage Multi It is a prevenitive in it that is for heart, whip,, round worms. It is a flea medication that can be used along with front line for ticks.

I agree with what has been said. You just need to treat your pup for al of these. Meds are available at the vet.

Interceptor prevents heartworm, hookworm, roundworm and whipworms.

My Daisy had whipworm.  The tx was a liquid I had to squirt in her mouth w/syringe...It was a NIGHTMARE trying to get her to take it...we did put her on interceptor as mentioned by others...picking up poop immediately was the only thing that my vet said might help...I hope the tx worked, I have to drop by a "poop sample" in a few days to see fingers are crossed)...I just hope we got rid of 'em

I agree with giving Interceptor.  It won't kill the eggs but will kill the adults on a monthly basis so they don't become a problem.  Lucky was diagnosed with whipworms once during a routine fecal exam.  He never showed any symptoms but we treated him with Panacur.  It is 3 small plastic baggies of powder that you mix with food for 3 straight days and then take another stool sample a few weeks later.  He's never showed signs of it since.

I agree with the rest. The best course of action is a heartworm preventative that covers whips and other parasites. Unfortunately, whips are almost impossible to iradicate. They can stay in the soil indefinately whether active or dormant.
