Lawn spray to dissolve dog poop?
With all the snow we have had this winter, I have really fallen behind
in mey dog poop clean up in my back yard. Now the problem is overwelming with with wet mushy dog poop that is almost impossible to pick up. Is there something that I can spray on my lawn that would help break up and dissolve the dog poop? Is there any kind of folk remedy or safe enzyme formulation that will do this? |

You really can't pick up dog crap when it is covered in snow! So after
several weeks when the snow melts your left with a lot of mushy dog crap that is hard to pick up. I asked a simple question I don't need the insults dumb ass! |

agree with you. There's always some smart ass who can't read the initial
post then has a stupid answer. It was a good question. -- God Bless America Josh The Bad Bear |

I was just looking out the window the other day to where our two dogs go and wondered what we would do when all that snow melts. Sometimes when that happens we don boots and go out and pick up as much as we can, then wait for those hard rains of spring to help wash it away. -Sharon |

Chipping away if necessary. As much as it's a little more challenging to do this, it's more pleasant than the yuck that comes when the snow thaws. And - on top of the snow - it's easy to SEE! -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

My vet's husband calls late March/early April "dog **** and beer cans," because that's what's uncovered when the snow melts. If it's cold enough to freeze it's pretty easy to pick up if you know where it is (fresh dog poop is warm and sinks through snow). If you wait until the snow melts and uncovers the mushy poop, you can still clean it up and you probably should. There are scoopers that are essentially small aluminum trays on a stick, and they come with rakes/ scrapers to scoop the poop into the tray, which you can then empty somewhere appropriate. The enzyme stuff to bio-dissolve the poop doesn't work in a Doggy Dooley if the temperature is below 40F, and it's a lot less likely to work at the same temperatures on scattered poop because the Dooley is a composter/cooker and you lose the heat containment on loose poop. I really think your best bet is to clean it up using a scooper of some sort. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - In 1978, George Bush was warning that Social Security would go broke in 10 years |

All of you will get no sympathy from us urban apartment dwellers. We have to bundle up against the cold or batten down against the rain three, four times a day and we have to pick up all donations. Wouldn't be easier for you to actually watch your dog when they are out in the yard, and simply run out and quickly pick anything up that they make, when they make it? Or, how about going outside with your dog? Put them on the leash and make them understand that after they poop they can be let go to play. Dogs learn to poop quickly that way. That way you poor poor people with back yards only have to be outside briefly, pick up the poop, and go back inside and stay warm and not have to worry about frozen/thawing doggie poo poo. |
