Worms in the toilet? It’s a gross thought, but it happens. Those tiny, slimy creatures can find their way into your plumbing and eventually emerge in your toilet bowl and floors.

This may seem obvious, but it’s the most important thing you can do. Regularly scrub your toilet bowl with a disinfectant cleaner. Pay attention to the area around the rim, as this is where worms often hide. You should also clean the outside of your toilet and the floor around it. Dr. Emily Green, a renowned entomologist said: “Preventing worms in your toilet often comes down to maintaining a clean and dry environment which can significantly reduce the risk of infestation.”

Don’t let your toilet sit unused for long periods. This can allow bacteria and other organisms to grow, which can attract worms. Make sure to flush your toilet after each use. Look back to ensure the toilet is properly flushed and possibly wipe the brim with a tissue after flushing.
Create a powerful cleaning solution by pouring a cup of white vinegar into the toilet bowl, followed by a half-cup of baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.
Salt is another great repellent for worms. Regular springle some salt or salt solution to areas you may likely find warm after thoroughly washing the toilet. Do this for at least two to three times a week and say good bye to worms from your toilet. You can also apply some salt to the toilet after washing properly. Why this works is because Salt can dehydrate worms, making it difficult for them to survive. It is also a natural disruptive solution for their habitat.

Lemon juice is a natural disinfectant that can also help eliminate odors and deter pests. Simply pour a cup of lemon juice into the toilet bowl and let it sit overnight. Wash and flush properly before use.
Promptly repair any leaks in your plumbing system and fix cracks. Worms are slimy creatures that can easily find ways to wiggle into the toilets when there are cracks in the tiles or floors.
