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 can steam clean and shampoo the carpets and couches. That should help remove any eggs that may have been tracked through your house. Clean all hard surfaces with either a dilute bleach solution or a household disinfectant.
