Tips for treating Camallanus Worms in a planted tank?

[Zeaqua]

Hi all! Recently, I had an outbreak of Camallanus Red Worms in a 40 breeder display tank. I used Expel-P (levamisole hydrochloride) as the package directed, and I plan to do it again after a week passes. I´m not exactly sure how to go about vacuuming the substrate to remove expelled worms/eggs. The tank is heavily planted on all layers, so I cant easily gravel vac. So far, I´ve vacuumed as much substrate as I could get to, but I don´t know if this will suffice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
