Giardia is very difficult to completely eliminate from the environment. The best ways to prevent infection or spread is to keep water fresh and clean and keep the environment as clean as possible. Pick up stool immediately and disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces with a bleach/water solution (3/4 bleach to 1 gallon water). Allow for a 10-15 minute wet contact time before wiping up. Bowls should be washed daily. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized.
