An iodine dip will wash off the flat worms. You will have to carefully inspect for eggs. They are small, hard to see & iodine does not kill them. The only way to be sure is to manually remove them. I use a jewlers loop to carfully inspect each piece. If it is an infected colony, I figure it's almost impossible to be sure you've caught all the eggs. Therefore fragging the colony is the best alternative to be sure you get all the eggs.
