Even if there are eggs, if you leave your tank without acros for a month or more they should hatch and starve out. At least that is the premise behind using a separate treatment tank.. that and the fact that the treatment will kill anything else in the tank also (levamisole, betadine, TMPCC, all are lethal to pods, micro fauna, fish, snails, etc).
P.S. It was anecdotally reported that betadine will also actually kill the eggs and even go so far as to somewhat dislodge them, making additional removal that much easier. This came from an International RC member who's English was pretty good, but not perfect, so some things may have been lost in the translation. To date I am not aware that it has been duplicated or confimed here locally.
