Pet Owners’ Do-It-Yourself Fertilizer (or The Real Scoop on Dog Poop)
Many property owners, believing that it’s beneficial to the grass as fertilizer, leave their pets’ feces in place.
Unfortunately, any benefits of doing so are far outweighed by the dangers and the problems….
- Leaving dog feces on the grounds creates human health hazards—parasites, disease, and infection!
- Natural temperatures and conditions in our area and region will not kill the pathogens present in dog waste.
- The multiple procedures and steps necessary to prepare dog feces for safe use as fertilizer are impractical for most property owners.
- In addition, the chemicals released from animal waste deposits can destroy, damage, dry up, or discolor grass, plants, and shrubs.
Failing to diligently clear your grounds of animal feces puts the health of your children, your friends, your visitors, and your lawn at risk!
Please…for the sake of your family, your friends, your visitors [including our crews], and your lawn, clear all animal feces from your grounds.
